muffled, soft double note too two - two two.
Arrived Barbelf about 4pm. Visited the park superintendent's office (Geaching) and got a letter introducing me to Don Wester Garcia, the guard/foreman at Puerto Isabel. Then rounded up stuff for a census at Puerto Isabel tomorrow.
April 27
Puerto Isabel, Big Negro
Beautiful clear day. To Puerto Isabel by boat. Met by Miguel Bellerano, a new park guard who had just arrived here yesterday. Walked along some trails and located a couple of potential trapping grids, but waited all afternoon for the lead park guard to appear.
April 28
morning mostly cloudy. Started cutting trail for the grid, all rockete work, made difficulty keeping lines and angles straight. Afternoon more cutting and, in drizzle, set about 40 Sherman, almost all large Shermans, on the lines that were ready. The area is between the road to Segon Fivae and the Rio Fivae. The big Rhinocryptid kept following us.
April 29
night mild, no rain, cloudy.
Ran traps at daybreak: 5 Abdon long-eared cats follow:
#301 ♂ 30g I5 = H5 on front wing
#302 ♂ 34g tail short c4
#303 ♀ 31g F3 = H3
#304 ♀ 31g A1
#305 ♀ 30g A9
Daybreak = 8 am. We got to the grid too early to see the trail or road carts, so listened to bird song.
3 kinds of loud "jungle" songs,
two of them surely Rhinocryptids.
almost all of the 5 abdonas were caught along logs, tops
