Great thread OP! This is important to offer wildlife relief however you can. Yes to the birdbath! I blast out old water replacing with clean water every day (so they don't pass along bird diseases). It gets rank pretty fast. Then around 5 pm if it's really hot I'll turn the sprinkler on low so the water goes out only 3 1/2 ft or so. They like to stand under it and fluff their wings...the bigger birds tend to hog the birdbath.  I put the sprinkler on also, not only for my shallow rooted rhododendrons and river birch trees, but for the backyard critters, too! lol I watched a rabbit stand under it today and the birds always like to "shower," of course. The butterflies fly to it also. I noticed that the bird bath is being used almost constantly during this hot weather. Tomorrow the heat index will be 110 here.
