Happy first official day of ASTROLOGICAL summer! 😎 Today is the SUMMER SOLSTICE, which is the longest day and shortest night in the Northern Hemisphere, and the point at which the Earth's northern pole is tilted toward the sun at its most extreme angle. 🌎 That's different from METEOROLOGICAL summer, which is based on annual temperature cycles. That started officially for the U.S. on June 1. 🌡️ And then there's SOLAR summer, the period when the most sunlight hits the Northern Hemisphere. That started back in May. 🔆 For us here in the Rio Grande Valley, though, it's felt like summer for ages—same for your birds! 😓 Don't forget to put out a source of clean water for them. It's a key way you can support—and attract—birds. We have tips on bird bath placement and cleaning here: https://mcallen.wbu.com/how-to-provide-for-summer-birds (clickable link in our bio's link tree) And be sure to stop by to see our selection of gorgeous bird baths! ⛲ Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: Lazuli Bunting* *Featured Birds may include species from across the USA, not just those seen in Texas' Rio Grande Valley. #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening
