Rain Barrel & Robin

So what do you do with a rain barrel in the winter?  We do get a good amount of our yearly precipitation from Autumn through Spring.  So rain collection and storage is still important.  The simplist thing to do is to put it on a slow drip.  That way the water in the barrel will be released over time after the rain event has subsided.  The view from the window was of seven Robins coming by for a drink.  So the rain barrels are good for more than just storage.
