Beating the Heat

On a day like we and many in the eastern USA experienced today, birds take advantage of water sources, and my two bird baths were certainly busy places.  Just before I posted this I observed and tried photographing this juvenile Northern Cardinal splashing about.  Even in the shade the early evening temperature is still in the triple digits!  I'll be sure to keep those baths full all weekend and give at least a few birds a great opportunity to beat the heat.
