[cobirds] One effect of Waldo Canyon Fire - El Paso/Teller Counties

There has been one small (maybe even tiny) positive effect from the fire. At least 15 of my non-birding friends have contacted me to ask how they can do something for the birds and small animals in all this heat, wind, smoke and ash.
 
They now all have put out water and seed in their yards and are encouraging others to do so. I have explained from my point of view that if they start they should continue - at least for the near future.
 
Please correct me if need be, but I feel a fresh water source in this arid and smoky time is important.

p.s. At this morning's briefing, it was announced that more than 300 homes burned in the Mountain Shadows area, but no new losses overnight. Specific numbers are still to come.
