More rain today! I’m so happy we have our rain gear- if we hadn’t have gone to the Subantarctica Islands ‘on they way’ to here we wouldn’t have rain gear and would have been very cold.
Today we had hoped to go to a place with hummingbirds but because of the rain, the road wasn’t passable and the hummingbirds probably wouldn’t have be there anyway. We went on another back road but there was so much rain and water and very few birds came out so we went back to the lodge after a few hours.
When we got back to the lodge, we had some excitement because there is a winter storm in the US and many flights were cancelled. Delta (our airline) sent out messages suggesting we change our flights. We thought about saying another day but ended up changing flights to go thru New York trying to outrun the storm.
After lunch we walked to the hide again- it’s a nice place to sit and watch for birds to come to the hide plus we get to stay dry. We were excited to see a coati and then even more excited to see a covey of quail. Very fun.
After the hide visit, we walked back to the lodge and had our last lodge deck viewing, last caparhina, and last dinner have because we’re leaving 6am tomorrow heading to the Golden Lion Tamarin reserve and airport.
