Hawk Bath

Even the Garden’s resident red-tailed hawks are looking for ways to beat the heat. Lucky for them, they’re not restricted from using the Garden’s fountains as a way to cool off a bit.

Yeah, I think a cooling dip sounds like a great idea!

Oh! Sweet! Relief!

Hawk, post-bath

So much better!
