一只年幼的红肩鵟（Buteo lineatus）栖息在树上梳理羽毛（鸟类清洁和维护羽毛的方式）并监视

ile Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is preening (how birds clean and maintain their feathers) and surveilling the area, perched in a tree. It is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) based on its brown and white streaked underparts and overall plumage. The bird perches quietly upon a rugged, moss-covered branch stretching across the frame. Behind the bird, a vibrant blue sky is accented by soft, drifting white clouds. Green, sunlit leaves on the right add a fresh splash of natural color to the serene scene. Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawks are commonly identified by having banded secondaries (flight feathers) rather than the intense black-and-white patterning of adults. They are known to be vocal, often heard calling before they are seen.
