Snickers, a great horned owl, is sprayed down with water by a volunteer at Liberty Wildlife, an animal rehabilitation center and hospital, during afternoon temperatures above 110 degrees amid the city's worst heat wave on record on July 26, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona. Employees and volunteers spray down the birds with water twice per day in the afternoon, while also utilizing fans and swamp coolers, to prevent them from overheating. While Phoenix endures periods of extreme heat every year, today marked the 27th straight day of temperatures reaching 110 degrees or higher, a new record amid a long duration heat wave in the Southwest.
