Carol Pearson 1969 Journal Paper leaves there 12 July of which were like the coiled ones in piles in other places, but most of which were globs about 1" long. 13 July First part of morning at study area, tromping around off the area + then collecting small arthropods by shaking Tillandsia over a whitish tarp and looking close. I found lots of 4-toed bird tracks, some with 10" stride, others in long trails of 4" steps. Also, piles of a new bird of dropping, fairly fresh: 1" ± long, ¼" diam., greenish-greyish with white at one end, more or less cylindrical. Also - large rodent tracks and cat tracks. I collected one of the eggs from the nest ML found yesterday, since they were cold + wet this morning, it was all dried up inside. Small arthropods found: pseudoscorpions, 2 kinds at least; one isopod; one isopod; 2 small crickets; a red mite; a good number of very small orangeish spiders; one very small jumping spiders; collembolae of several colors; a small insect, collembolo-sized, that doesn't jump, greyish. Returned in late afternoon + tried to pan for small arthropods. It didn't work. Too much junk floated and once wet, anything alive would be unrecognizable if you could find it. In the course of the day saw 4 regular-sized passerines fly over. 14 July The day (turned sunny! about 10 am) devoted to searching for small arthropods under Tillandsia plants at study plot. Morning technique: pick up plant, live
