Guess who stopped by for a drink today?

It was 114 here in the desert today.  Tomorrow will be 5 degrees cooler:  109.  I can live with 109.  I can't live with 114.  I stayed home today:  sore throat, dizziness, and I was extremely shaky.  Probably a virus.  Hubby had it too, and he came home early.  Probably something I picked up at school...oh, well...I took 2 naps during the day and I'm feeling better tonight.

Anyway, I got to sit and look out across the front yard.  The hawk came by about noon, took a couple of sips, and stayed for a while.  He returned about 3:00 p.m. and stayed for 1 1/2 hours.  I took some pics of him (not uploaded yet)...He also returned about 6:30 p.m. for another couple of sips.  It was so hot that he was panting (I think...do birds pant?)  Whatever...he had his beak open and he sure was enjoying the bird bath.  I made sure I went out a couple of times and put fresh water in it...nothing but the best here, I tell you!

Isn't he a handsome fellow?
