Keep Cool and don’t make a Carry-on

Parts of the country are having warmer weather and the Arctic species will appreciate a cooling stream of water. Things that give birds some entertainment are interesting to watch and enrich their lives. Ice cubes in the water are sometimes appreciated too. Although some species will seek out shade, the eiders often do not seem to and will sit in the sun panting. In extreme heat it may be necessary to bring them under cover to keep them comfortable.
