The grapes of VATH

I just had to say that, ever since Lori Markoff came up with it. I sweat blood when birders are here and the VATH (Varied Thrush's alpha code) isn't showing itself, and then when the birders have finally seen it come in for grapes, and the birders have departed, I wish someone was here to share it with.

It's been 2 years, due to last year's drought, since I've seen deer come to the spillway and drink (see post of Oct 30, 2010).
