All,
During my recent observation period the Owls head was always high, it never drank from the bird bath it only soaked its feathers.
A bit of a background, On 4/19/25 the Owls stopped using the nest the day after I took photos of the young bird (photo included). Weeks before my latest photo (3/30/26), that shows the Owl using the nest, it was heard almost continuously calling in our back yard, it was last heard a couple days later.
My assumption is that the bird bath wetting of the feathers is a normal function as it appeared healthy.
Take care,
Bob Reiling
