There is a shortage of food for a lot of the wildlife in our area due to the drought and they could use our help. Bird feeders and baths are needed now just as much in the winter and while you are at it put out a dish of water on the ground for the turtles and put out scraps for them too. This turtle is enjoying some strawberries I cut up for it although I really think it prefers blueberries, I feed this one a lot as it lives in my garden. Turtles will dig into soft dirt to hide from the heat of the day and come out in the evenings to look for food and water.They will also come out if you accidentally water their resting place. I don't think there will be any nuts here either all the nuts are falling from the trees undeveloped, so feed those squirrels too. Whatever wildlife is in your area probably needs some help so it is a good idea to do what you can
