Looks like it's too hot for a footnote. Get any big shallow pan and put it in your yard for the birds., an upside down garbage can lid, a big flowerpot dish. It doesn't need to be elevated. I have been delivering pans to relative's yards. It takes a few days for the birds to trust the bath place, but they will thank you.

I love your story about our Northside wildlife. This morning as I walked through the neighborhood enjoying the coolness and almost clean air, I saw two dead crows lying among some downed tree branches yet to be removed. It made me sad. The crows have done a good job minimizing our pigeon population, and they are smart and entertaining. I wondered if they were killed in the storm on Wednesday.

I have thought about this comment numerous times since you left it, particularly since right after the storm I didn't see Maistoo's whole family for days. I was certainly the two you saw were part of it. But he's since reappeared, with an intact group of five. I am sad for the two you saw though, and think of them often.
