Rivita, Sean 2007 Journal May 7 Aldea Limaito, mountains E of Zacapa, Dept: Zacapa, Guatemala (cont) isolated fragment and another area just on the edge of the forest. The cattle pasture seems to meet primary cloud forest here, and we could see many big trees in the forest. There were areas of the ridge much higher than where we were that looked spectacular. We searched in bromeliads (including the 4 boys to varying degrees) and found many salamanders in a short time (16:00-17:40). Carlos, Ted and I, boy Daniel, found 2 B. Rufescens, 3 B. cranti and 2 black Salamanders that may be Bolenni in the more isolated fragment, while Mustafa, 2 boys and cl found 1 B. Rufescens, 1 B. cranti and 1 B. dunni (?) on the edge of or in the cloud forest. I think we could have found many more salamanders if we'd had more time. There should be both B. delfini and C. mangina here, and the loasted hills seem like a better place to look for Cryptotriton Othan at da Union, which we could actually see to the E on the way up. Our guides told us that there is a hut of some sort (apparently w/no roof) where one can stay in the forest. This seems like a very exciting place for future work. We walked down, since it was near dusk, and found out that the kids (4 & 5) had collected 6 more B. Rufescens in town for a total of 10. This is the most salamanders in a day on this trip, with little effort. We drove back to Zacapa in the dark and took swabs for chytrid from the salamanders we collected at the upper site. This was a great end to the trip for me.
