Starting Wednesday we hit 109 and hold it. That means 114 to 119 outside. They lie a LOT. My swamp cooler is ready. I want to add a garden fountain for my Ravens. I found Leucy Liu hopping through the shaded areas. I think she'd use it. I need to set up a reservoir with autofill and a purge pump on a timer then the fountain.

I have a bunch of different birds that come to my fountain to drink and bathe. The hummingbirds will sit on the top where the water comes out to get clean, same with the bushtits. The bushtits kind of play king of the mountain on it, I'll get a flock of 20 or more at times.
All the other birds wash off on my spa's spillover to the pool. Only Stinky Girl would bathe there. So I guess I need a separate birdbath in the garden so the ravens can have their privacy.
They are calling for highs of 113 here. They routinely lowball. I am expecting to see readings in the shade above 120.
I remember it got up to 118 in the north valley years ago.
Yeah there are patterns in which Redding becomes fried egg central
Really into birds, damn cheap entertainment. The lake I live on attracts many species especially when migrating ( sightings relayed to Cornell University). Happy hunting, they are a rush......the crow is king for me.
HTF are you guys still alive?
Ravens are my favorite - much like a Crow but typically much larger & seem to be more intelligent as well.
I feed Raven Local #503.
I’m out-competed by a local.
Only lived around one couple a few decades ago, way out in the middle of no where, beautiful creatures who liked their privacy. Haven't seen any sense, lots of eagles,crows.herons,hawks,vultures,you name it.......but, no ravens.
It keeps getting worse.
