Interest on deposits

6:25PM

Rain started here about 6:20PM. Doesn't look very long lived.

As I mention on the front page of the site, the Red-Winged Blackbirds are back. These are the birds that most like to perch on my rain collector. The birds put their "depositor" over my "collector" and, quite effectively, clog it with their doo doo. I just got soaked while running out to remove the collector so I could clean it. This will be a regular maintenance item from here on out.

Some fellow station keepers have some humane ideas to deter the birds from perching. I'll be looking into those.
