The heat index is 104, how the birds are cooling off pix

Enjoy,

OS & Marta

A Bluejay splashing around.

He emerges very wet and happy.

A female Cardinale.

A wet Finch in our tiki fountain.

Look close at the top of the picture. A Robin enjoys the sprinkler.

The turkey shakes off the water on our patio after running through the sprinkler.

After taking care of business, 3 dogs want back inside with the A/C. Do they look worried to you?

I've posted pix of Luna moths before. This one has been on the house in the shade for 12 hours. It is missing 1/2 of it's tail.

I have spent years cultivating my own garden. Lots of feeders and flowers. We also back up to woods. Now, if I could just find a way to keep the raccoons from pilfering the bird feeders, I might find a way to save some money. Peanut butter jelly sandwiches can only go so far with this hungry trio.

Wish I was skilled at posting pics of them. But, trust me, they are a bunch of bottomless pits.

my wife was watering the garden this evening and she came in and said now one of the neighborhood peacocks was laying on her waterer drinking the water and looked like it was cooling off.
we had a Cellar installed today so I was out in the heat most of the day so I missed this event
