Totally agree with providing water for the wildlife
especially during those onerous dry days..just hope the birds and feline don't go there at the same time
And be adept in cleaning it out too as needed
My water fountain gets its thirsty visitor every now and then:
Dunno which neighbor owns this one, but it sure knows where she can get her drink:
Some birds drop by, either to drink, or maybe just wet their feet:
And this is an old video I took at our old apartment, hummingbird that loves our solar fountain
