Water…All Creatures Need It

by Donna Lewis

Once again, we are breaking records for the heat here in Texas and the world.

I think that this is the new normal. My opinion…

So, there are a few simple things we can do for the wildlife.

One, we can provide water for them. It can be more important than food.

Containers that are not too deep are best.  Place the containers under some shade if possible. Dump old water out as often as you can, and put fresh water in. That will keep the mosquitos to a minimum.  

Birds need a perch of some kind to feel safe. There are lots of things you use for this. You can use cow panels, trellis, and  old tree limbs. Be creative.

Here are a few photos of water containers I use.

I also put the sprinkler on for about 30 minutes each day. They love that.

You will find many birds, mammals, and reptiles drinking from the water you provide.

Remember the little creatures we love.
