I have added a charger controller and battery for those less than sunny days to power the pump.

I have been waiting for this bird to appear. They migrate up from Mexico and should stay until around August. I was thrilled to see the first yesterday evening and it came straight to the water. I was having to travel to locations for this bird before.

This is for storing a surplus of solar power? That's smart.

Thank you. The bird "garden" is setting up nicely.

Yes, more of a battery backup for less than sunny days. I have yet to test the capacity but will likely have to add a second battery I would be willing to bet. The painted bunting is one of my favorite birds so I am thrilled to have it appear. Thanks for following and commenting.

Thanks, Lavina. Believe it or not, there has been less activity on the water lately. Likely due to recent rainfall.
