Hi -
I'm in a small bush village in Ontario, Canada, and am above all else a squirrel lover.
I'd like to share an idea I've been using to help squirrels and other small wildlife in the areas where I walk daily avoid the worst consequences of drought. We've had severe drought here throughout all of 2015.
Based on observed enthusiastic usage, I'd call this idea a winner. Basically, I hide small, non-tip water cups in areas small wildlife frequent. I clean and fill them daily.
In the rocky, hilly terrain here, there are almost no places a small animal can find liquid water - that's often difficult even after a rain.
Here's a picture of what I use, and I hope others may consider helping their own furry friends similarly, when the [increasingly frequent] droughts hit:

Aren't we blessed to have squirrels in our lives!
