The female great horned owl is seen taking a quick dip in a watering hole in the yard of a °µÍø³Ô¹Ï resident who shared the video online last week.

Another male owl, thought to be this one's mate, has also routinely visited the trough, said Cindy Kelton, who filmed the video. Kelton has been filming desert animals as they stop by her backyard trough since 2014, including coyotes, javelina, roadrunners, and hawks.  Video courtesy of Cindy Kelton.
