  • A male Cardinal and a Carolina Wren

    It is very hot here and the Cardinal's beak is open. He's parched. He
    knows there is a bird bath where he can cool off and take a drink on my
    patio. I think he's waiting for the Mrs to join him. I've seen her but
    didn't get a pic. ;)

    And a Carolina Wren which took a dip in the bird bath and was resting in
    a bush next door after cooling off:

    The temperatures here are in the high 90's(F) and the birds need all the
    water they can get.

    I also just refilled the hummingbird feeder.

    I'm sure they appreciate all the water! Glad you can provide it.

    It's the least I can do considering how much fun it is watching them. :)
