100-degree Relief – For the Birds
by admin on Jun.01, 2011, under Favorites
I was surprised to see a temperature reading of 103 on my property’s weather station yesterday. The sensor was in full sun at the time, but this is still an incredibly hot day for Central North Carolina – last day of May.
I tested the water in my two bird baths around 2pm and found the water – which I had just refreshed on Sunday – at near body temperature to me. This means a not-so-refreshing break for the birds. Refilled with clean, fresh, and cold water, by the time I was redoing the second bird bath, it was standing-room-only at the first one.
No time like the present to encourage those who don’t have already to get a bird bath for your outdoor garden area. Great for them, and a good feeling for you to know you are providing a little blessed relief from the heat for all your feathered friends. Here are some really nice bird baths from my favorite Plow & Hearth:
