Stock Photo: Bald Eagle Drying Out His Wet Feathers

ID 300196245 © Mccrainemercantile | Megapixl.com

Bald Eagles secrete oil through a gland near the tailbone, and when they’re preening they’ll reach back and get some oil from that gland and disperse it through their feathers. This is why you'll see the water droplets roll right off the wings. Eagles stretch out their wings instinctually to dry off after a rain or catching prey in river or lake.
