The Kandahar Kaleidoscope

Finches

We have added another property here at Kandahar Lodge. A hotel of 18 rooms sits atop a tamarack stump with the "Vacancy" sign out for resident finches. Hopefully some of these brightly colored songbirds will be joining our other guests in the future.

Weather

It has been an interesting summer for weather. Following the monsoons we moved into some hot sunny days but interspersed with extremely heavy rainfall (even hail), winds (downed trees and a few power outages) and thunder and lightning. Recently eight Rocky Mountain sheep were killed on Wildhorse Island apparently because they were standing high on a hill too close to a ponderosa that took a lightning bolt hit. The tree did not fall but the rams were scorched - terminally! Some nearby wilderness fires have been burning so there have been a few days of haziness but nothing too big or too close.
