It is very hot here and the Cardinal's beak is open. He's parched. He

patio. I think he's waiting for the Mrs to join him. I've seen her but
didn't get a pic. ;)

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. :)
