Barbs, Jan 2005 Journal Nov. 10 Nebaj, Depto. El Quiche, Guatemala We drove out of Nebaj to the N and stopped 2.7 Km by road north of the city in a small patch of secondary forest with many bromeliads and small trees. This is near the type locality of B. cuchumatare. We searched in the forest for 40 min, but only found 4 birds (15.42434°N, 91.13353°W [WGS84, 9m acc.], 1831m elev.). We drove a little more toward Nebaj and stopped ~2Km from the city in an area of corn fields and scrub forest with a few larger trees (15.41772°N, 91.13885°W [WGS84, 9m acc.], 1834m elev.). We searched for 45 min but found nothing - there was nowhere good to search aside from a few stumps. We drove back through town, and headed out on the road S towards Cheren (the main road out of town). We stopped 6.3Km S of Nebaj in an area with some secondary forest and pasture. I found 1 B. lincolnii inside a rotting stump after 30 min of searching (15.37813°N, 91.10855°W [WGS84, 7m acc.], 2317m elev.). Finally, we stopped 9.7Km S of Nebaj in an area that had been mostly cleared but had many stumps and logs and was near primary forest. I found 1 B. lincolnii under a log (15.37153°N, 91.11343°W [WGS84, 7m acc.], 2588m elev.), and Ernesto found a big ore under a stone, I found 2 B. hartwegii under the broke of pine logs, and Carlos found another. They look slightly different from the others we have found - they lack the distinct black+white mottled central pattern. We also got 3 Sclerurus and 2 M. moelleti. We drove on to Uspantan, but had to wait an hour for roadwork, so we arrived after dark and did not do any more fieldwork. actually Bolitoglossa cuchumatare -DBW ID'd photos
