Yours are probably happier than ours. ; Ours are hot as hades, and just laying down in the water up to their necks trying to cool off:

(nice shot of the two together, btw - I like the pose!)

 

[HW]

it looks like it is splashing in the water Justin. I have never seen them do that here

They'll bathe and splash a bit here - not as much for the cleaning like the small birds do, but seemingly more on hot days. ; I think they honestly are just trying to cool off.
