The Water in the Birdbath out in full sun is probably over 90°. The water from the hose is 70° or cooler coming from the ground. Put the sprinkler to water under the shade trees and the birds arrived for a cooling shower. The Carolina Chickadees hopping around. The Downy Wood Pe**er looking for a meal, a cool shady spot. My timer said to move the the water over to the next tree and they followed. The hummingbirds were a bit more hesitant. As they are less trusting as they danced through the Airborne droplets. They payed me no mind until
I moved the water. But they will be back. Everyone needs a cool break in the heat.
