Cooling Off

Found this hooded oriole having a ball splashing about in the water on a hot day in south Texas. It was quite the social bird, putting on a dazzling display of bathing and water splashing. The hooded oriole is one of 10 different oriole species that can be found in North America.

 

I know that many of us can relate to the heat these days. 107 degrees as we traveled through Colorado yesterday afternoon. The good news for us is that if we travel upwards in elevation, it gets tremendously cooler ... often by 20-25 degrees, sometimes more. I hope that everyone finds ways to cool off this summer. :-)
