My hummingbirds have dwindled down to 3 or 4, which is as it should be this time of year.
There has been a juvenile Yellow Warbler around for about 2 weeks. I didn't think much of it, but when I entered it into the ebird database it showed as rare for here this time of year. That surprised me so I thought I better document it with a photograph.
We're supposed to get rain down at my oasis in the next few days. Here's hoping! This is what my "stucco tank" looks like after I pumped out what I could salvage from the dirt tank a few days ago. This is about 3-4 thousand gallons and should last me into November during this cooler weather, if I don't get rain. Very nice reprieve from hauling in water.

Fingers crossed for the weekend. First time in a long time we have a good chance as well.
Very cool bottle. Any idea what was in it originally?
I continue to marvel at your perseverance and back-breaking hard work to keep your oasis going. So glad to hear you finally have some water down there.
Thanks, Judith and Sandy. I laboriously peeled the label off the bottle, but it was some kind of liqueur (per relief on opposite side of bottle) that I'd never heard of, and now I don't remember.
I hope you get soaked on Sunday. You're ready, right? Beautiful bottle!
