Honto; Sean 2006 Journal Sept. 9 Corro San Gil, Montanas del Mico, Dept. Izabal, Guatemala (cat.) ... morning trying to get permission from FUNDAIO (Guatemalan NGO) to work on the reserve on Cerro San Gil, finally getting it in the afternoon. We drove up towards the GUATEL towers, parked at the guard station and started walking at about 1845. We walked up the road for ~1 Km, then Ted turned back to search on leaves at night, cl walked ~ 1km more and then turned back. At this point we found several Rana berlanderi (collected) and Agalychnis tadpoles in a puddle (15.68777°N, 88.66544°W [WGS84, 12m acc], 503 m ele.) at 1945. cl walked back, and collected 1 Craugastor along the way (15.68974°N, 88.66219°W [WGS84, 17m acc] at 2027. cl also saw a spider monkey. The forest was mostly secondary growth with some big trees, and lots of Heliconia and large-leaved aroid plants that looked good for salamanders. Carlos and Hugo walked on for about 30 min more and found 4 Bolitoglossa mexicana out on leaves, starting at 2000. They found a large (~1.2m) Bothrops asper male on the trail and killed it to collect it, since they had no snake [illegible] bag. They also caught a Liron and an clmantrides. Ted returned with another clmantidea sercora, a Craugastor and a Simlicola barlimi. cl stopped searching at about 9:15PM and the others stopped shortly after (2130 & 2145). clt started to rain heavily as we left, and Carlos got another Bufo vallecipi on the way back to the main road.
