Summer is here,

and we are starting it with another really hot day. Temperatures will reach around 36 °C / 98 °F today. I have watered the garden, filled the bird baths and gave the nestboxes some extra shade. The Wren sadly lost two more eggs to that destructive other Wren yesterday, but she seems to be hanging on. (Update on the Wren - the other Wren came and tossed the last remaining egg earlier and is now working on the nest.) The Bluebirds are looking great. And there are many Orioles stopping by. Here is a little selection. Stay cool and hydrated and happy summer solstice!
