The depressions from the US are still coming this way. Last month had the most rain in 140 years, so you could say it is above average. But last (Dutch) summer it was so dry that the hydroelectric power stations could not run at full capacity. Wherever you go there is record weather. The location Case Tangare Dowii is 2000 meters high, on the slope where the showers from the west empty. At least there is a lot of rain available.
The location is specifically aimed at birdwatchers. A professor who has a cottage on the mountain ridge, with 3 guest rooms. I am now sitting in the living room with a view of the feeders. At this altitude a few new species are reporting. There are also verbana bushes for the hummingbirds, but hummingbirds do not like wind and rain. I do not either, so I mainly stay inside.
