August has been hot and dry in Atlanta. Other than a brief shower that didn't leave even a tenth of an inch in the rain gauge, there's been no rain since late in July. August so far has set seven new record highs, with eight days having highs of 100 degrees or higher. That is hot. Most of metro Atlanta is under watering restrictions. Where we live, we can only water the yard three days a week, only during the hours of midnight until 10:30 am. Some metro area counties have prohibited outside watering entirely.
The birds have discovered the neighbor's backyard fence when her watering system is being used. Her water nozzles create a mist of water that rises to the height of the fence, perfect for the birds to perch on and get wet.
