Oh those photos, all of them, are priceless. In the last couple of years I've been quite taken with birds having a bath. So yeah I love seeing pics of birds, any birds, taking a bath.

Carly, I was going to post the same link to the spectacular photos by Chad and Chris of Titan and Hillary bathing. They take the most beautiful photos of peregrines.
Peregrines do come down to the ground to drink and to bathe, and I think that is what Scout was going to do in the photo.
Here are a couple of older photos by Chad and Chris. The first one is of Buckeye at Hilliard Bridge taking his bath - he loved the water! Very sadly, we lost Buckeye last year. Titan is Hillary's new mate. The second pic is of Hillary bathing a few years ago.

That picture reminded me of this one I saw on Alison's site - I forgotten about Titan and Hillary, check out these pics of them bathing together - just scroll down a bit til you find the start, absolutely beautiful shots of them frolicking in the water together!

I was told the same thing that they don't go to ground and probably in the city core they wouldn't as there are cars and humans to contend with. Maybe living in the dirty and smoggy, polluted city air has driven them to bathing..hehe..they look like they are having a blast..nice to see!

Highly unlikely, they do go to the ground-water to get a drink and bath, seriously I doubt there is anything wrong with her.
