Just one of the many dashing Black-billed Magpies that came around for the peanuts and suet we put out over the weekend. I cleaned and refilled the bath multiple times as birds splashed to keep clean and stay cool in this horrid heat wave. High-90 degree temperatures are much too high, especially for September.
Hope it was cooler in your neck of the woods!

I rubbed the cats down with an ice cube on the really hot days. They were hot and they liked it.

HA! I’m glad they liked the ice cube rub-down! Not sure my cats would allow it. 🙂

I’m surprised the feistier one allowed it. He liked it more than the docile one probably because he has a heavier coat.
