Dry and hot

This poor sparrow is suffering greatly. It is very hot and it cools itself by opening its beak. We also have a drought and the plants have withered and it is difficult for them to find any food. The migratory birds flew away a month earlier. The climate has changed. We no longer have spring and autumn. Only a dry and hot season and a cool and wet season. Winter is also gone.

That's quite poignant and paints quite a picture, with those withered rosehips.

Beautiful capture of the bird. We (Northern California) are having similar weather experiences here. I worry about the wildlife and the farmers.
