## Resource

This heatwave isn’t just scorching humans—it’s pushing birds and wildlife to their limits. These feathered allies, crucial for pollination and pest control, are coping with gaping and gular fluttering, but extreme heat can cause heat stress. Help them by offering clean shallow water, filling feeders (since insects are scarce), and planting shade trees. For other animals, leave them be—human intervention often backfires. If you spot a sick or injured critter, call a wildlife rehabber. Small steps can make a big difference when nature’s thermostat goes haywire.
