The skunks are the most frequent winter users of the heated water dish in the backyard. We have seen foxes, raccoons, and possums enjoying the availability of a drink, and, of course, the feral cats.
There are three heated bowls, a large one in the backyard, a shallow one on the deck railing, and a small one in the front of the house. The wild turkeys are partial to the small one near the driveway, queuing up for a drink, patiently waiting their turn.
