Mastering Tree Watering: What You Need to Know Proper watering is key to your trees’ health, but it’s easy to make mistakes. Overwatering can drown roots, while underwatering can lead to stress and weakened trees. Stick to a consistent watering schedule, focusing on deep, infrequent watering to encourage deep root growth. Check the soil moisture regularly by digging a small hole near the root zone. If the soil feels dry a few inches down, it’s time to water. Need expert watering advice? AAA Tree Service is here to help! https://buff.ly/3T7mbWo #TreeCareTips #WateringTrees #AAAService #TreeHealth

How are you staying cool in this heatwave? Enjoying some air conditioning, cold treats or a refreshing swim? 🔥 The animals here at Fossil Rim agree that it is hot outside. Many of them have different ways of coping with high temperatures. Let’s see what the Attwater's Prairie Chickens get up to when staying cool. Similar to our furry friends at home, birds have their own version of panting to keep cool. Their method is called gular fluttering. When temperatures rise, a bird's respiratory rate increases. Birds will breathe with their mouths open paired with quick vibrations of the throat skin. These quick motions cause evaporation allowing excess heat to leave their bodies cooling them off. Often paired with gular fluttering, APC will change their body posture to increase air circulation around the skin. Birds will droop their wings to the side or even create cooling tents with them when lying down. Water bowls and damp substrate are also great ways to dissipate heat. APC are often seen cooling off their feet and taking dust baths in shaded damp substrates. On the rare occasion, we will even see an APC chick take a full water bath to stay cool. Keep to shaded areas with our birds and share your fun ways of staying cool this week! #attwatersprairiechickens #wildlife #endangeredspecies #fossilrim #birders
