Bunting,... Indigo Bunting

 

A recent visitor to our yard.  We are keeping the bird bathes full which is keeping an everchanging stream of of feathered guests coming by to cool off.

Tennessee is entering drought.  June is supposed to have around 4.65" of rain.  We've had 1.05".  And it has been HOT.  I will probably have to start "bucket watering" soon.  That means using a 5 gallon bucket (or two) with a small hole drilled at the base to slowly soak water to some of my larger, thirsty small trees.  Uff-dah!
