Dag 25: Casa Tangara Dowii en Hotel Bougainvillea

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The wind is less than yesterday, but it is so cold. The feeders are on the wind side, and you have to open a window if you see a bird that you want to photograph. Usually the birds fly away then. The bedroom is just as cold, cold wind with rain of 10 degrees against single glass cools the room to 12 degrees I think. I didn't bring any clothes for that. A learning moment, better look at what you buy. Rain with strong wind at 2300m is just as cold as the wind is in a sailboat on the North Sea at night. Just like the Scots walked with a T-shirt and shorts in 14 degrees, the owner walks with a T-shirt.

At 2 o'clock I was picked up for San Jose, where it is 23 degrees. That is better. The photos show the same birds as yesterday.
