Bald eagle sub-adult grooming.

Falling back on the ol' archives as the bayou has been a distant memory, but I remember this gang quite well!! Some of my winter time visitors on the bayou that allowed me to get fairly close!! American White Pelicans on Horsepen Bayou!

Footpath barbers are a common sight in Kolkata. Customers can often be seen self grooming with the barber's tools

Another shot of my raccoon visitor looking quite comical as it was grooming its tail. The same raccoon climbed the chestnut tree for a snooze last Wednesday and it obviously had such a restful time that it came back again on Saturday morning. This time I caught it having a bit of grooming session before it went back to sleep for the day. A few times it was actually upside down and I was worried it might fall out of the crow's nest and tree as it was at least 35 feet up. But all was well as I think this raccoon has most likely done this before!

I came across this story about a man in Nova Scotia who might have too many raccoon friends!

The harder trail wasn't groomed and apparently had a warning about it. One of the downsides with this Autofocus film camera is that I have no idea what it is focusing on.

A bride is a woman who is about to be married or who is a newlywed. A bride in an elaborate wedding dress, US, 1929. When marrying, if the bride's future spouse is a man, he is usually referred to as the bridegroom or just groom.

These machines are built by the same company that makes Ski-Doo, they groom the ski slopes at Marmot Basin in Jasper. The overhead winch allows them to go up slopes at 45 degrees.

I was very happy to be able to visit the African or Jackass penguin colony at Stony Point, at Betty's Bay - there were hundreds of penguins and other seabirds. This is an adult indulging in a quiet moment grooming itself.
