Reminder, it is really hot outside and our small animal friends do not have access to water like we do. So help them out and put out a bowl full of fresh water in your yard, on your balcony, or on your window still and do a small creature a good turn by keeping them alive and hydrated. Added bonus: doing this, you will get to see what comes for the water like your own wild nature TV show but in real life and outside your window. I have been doing this since it has gotten hot along with a huge bowl of seed and have now made friends with about 5 crows that are showing up 6 times a day along with a squirrel who I think I am going to name Peter.
