How birds beat the brutal Rio Grande Valley heat

We all feel it; the sun peering intently, directly down on us, the oven-like heat rising from streets and sidewalks, the instantaneous beads of sweat appearing as we take two steps outdoors. We are in the hottest months of the summer, and it changes us. We sweat more, spend more time indoors, and crank up the air conditioning – all in the effort of keeping our bodies from overheating, and, let us be honest, for general comfort. Birds, excepting grocery store sparrows, do not have access to air conditioning, which raises the question: how do birds beat the intense summer heat?

Pets of the week

Palm Valley Animal Society’s annual Clear the Shelters event is here! Rather than just one day for Clear the Shelters this year, it will last the entire month of August from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m every day. For more details visit our website at Pvastx.org. This event will be hosted at both of our locations in Edinburg. Help us clear the shelters by finding your furry friends.
