Carl Pearson 1969 Journal Payza Leon Tree 4 July live snails. After dark we walked around on the soft dirt flats + found geckos, which could move as fast as any lizard Then. We heard bats and scared up some fairly large bird that had been on the ground. 5 July Slept out there on the flats. In morning AKP found some holes with larger piles at the mouth + found lizards in two of them. Drove up a canyon that led to a chapel in an area of goat cornals + rocky hills + a variety of green plants of lush size. Trinocorus annicivorus was here - 2 males, I guess - both had black design on fore throat + chest. They were fairly tame. Also here was a flock of 20-30 sparrows-size brownish jobs that ran on the ground but wouldn't cooperate with me. Puerto Viejo Late afternoon went to beach south of Chilea - location 7 km SSE Chilea, 2 am. On the beach were lots of Larus modestus, and crab holes. On some off-shore islands and flying around were some Sula variegata, 2 turkey vultures, a gull all white with dark gray mantle and wings (but I'm not sure if it was big enough to be L dominicanus), and cormorants. Not any great numbers in this bay. In the dunes + sandy fields in from the beach were small lakes with lots of reeds. Here were lots of lizards and tracks of rats, a mustellid w/ 1 3/4" long forefoot, a heron + rail type things, + of Burherinus.
