Even the cactus are dying, plant experts say, not so much from drought as the nights not cooling off enough. They are cooking.
We took a baby dove to a wildlife rescue a few weeks ago. He was very dehydrated and weak and his parents were nowhere around. He was trying to get at the pool, where he’d have drowned. Too many stray cats around here so we offered him water and took him to a rescue. He drank and drank! But he was too weak to fly. Hopefully he made it. The rescue has been inundated with overheated and dehydrated wildlife this year.
We’ve broken all sorts of heat records like days in a row over 110, etc.
