Did you know Bald Eagles take regular baths?! Bathing helps eagles keep their feathers clean and aligned for strong flight, cool off on warm days, wash away blood and bacteria after feeding, and remove parasites. Afterward, they preen to spread natural oils that waterproof their feathers. Fun fact: Eagles are considerate roommates! They often bathe before heading back to the nest—clean feathers help keep eaglets warm and healthy. | Southwest Florida Eagle Cam
