I tried to dig a hole in the dried up creek so that the deer have something to drink. I never hit water!! I live in northern Illinois and its getting bad here...

do you have a big bucket or wash basin (that stainless steel one) or something, and place it far enough away from the house they feel safe getting to it?

i am absolutely hoping there are no new fires.

I once had a dog bowl (larger one) out for my dogs.
Sadly a mother hen and her chicks came to it while I was in the house (I didn't own them) and all her poor chicks drowned in the bowl of water about 7 of them! It was heartbreaking!

I wonder if we should place shallow bowls out or tall water buckets out?
Any suggestions?

it depends on the animal/bird. birds prefer a shallow basin, think bird bath. animals need more of a trough. however, you bring up a good point, drowning is a problem. i think if each is provided for they can figure it out, at the least you did what you could.
