I didn't take this picture - our owls visit our birdbaths often in this hot dry weather, but usually in the very early morning or very late evening when it's too dark to take a photo.
They are much more sedate and dignified bathers than the jays, cardinals and bluebirds that visit during the day. They don't splash a lot, but they will squat and get their chests wet.
Last night was the first time we've seen two in the birdbath together, and it was in the small metal birdbath that is only about 20 inches in diameter. To say they filled it up is an understatement, but they seemed happy enough, and we watched them for about five minutes before they flew away.
