Aug, 23 Chilascó area, Depto. Baja Verapaz, Guatemala
We wanted to try B. melanica once more, so we returned to
Chilascó. We went past the tour, past Foresta, and went through
a gate and some land belonging to Agroindustrias Chilascó, a
leather for producer. Most of the forest here has been cut down for
for production. We went left at the gate and parked at a small
dam on the edge of some very nice liquidambar oak forest with
many big bromeliads and some good stumps. We searched from
11:20 - 15:20, focusing mostly on bromeliads, and I got one
B. holmrichii. We wanted to get back to Guatemala City by
about 5PM, so we left and drove back. The bromeliads were very
full of water from a heavy rain yesterday, so it seemed like it
might not be very productive to stay. On the road back, we
cought a big Cryptophanes percalinatus on the side of CA-9 at
km 33.
Aug, 26 San Joaquin, Capan, Depto. Capan, Honduras
Yesterday, Ted and I left Guatemala City and drove to Capan, Honduras.
It rained hard around 5PM, so we drove the road back to the
border looking for frogs at night. We found Bufo, Similis, Physalaemus
and heard several other species. Today, we went east out of town
to San Antonio, then turned N on a dirt road to El Paraíso
and stopped in Aldea Buena Vista. We tried to get some locals
to look for B. delarivis, since they seem to know it, and one man
said he would look. We got another man, Reinaldo, to guide us to
Aldea San Joaquin, up a rough dirt road ~30 min away.
