There is a crow obviously suffering from the extreme heat that we have been

[question everything]

having: 94-97 in the past two days. Really oppressive.

He is just sitting there.

I turned on the sprinklers system. He was not in line, but some of the mists reached him. He stood up for a while then turned around and now is back sitting.

Squirrels are running next to him and he does not move. There is bird bath a few feet next.

Sunset is in 45 min. I hope that he will recover.

1. Yikes.

Do watch to see if it's there in the morning. Could be heat or an illness or both. Giving it water like that was a good idea, maybe after the sun goes down it will be able to cool off better.

3. He flew away!

I was out with the food for the "night crew" - bunnies and sometimes deer or raccoon - and as I came closer he flew away. Temp also now is "only" 84 so it might helped.

4. That's good.

Sometimes they need time to recover.

2. A month or so ago there was a crow by my porch that

was obviously hurt in a thunderstorm. He was around for a couple of days until one morning when he must have been attacked by a cat. It was a murder scene. I felt so bad.

I hope your crow is ok.
