into, Sean 2007 Journal Parque Nacional Cusuar, Depto. Cortes, Honduras Aug. 29 We drove from La Entrada to Coprodio and then took a good dirt road north to the small town of Buenos Aires. We left our stuff at an albergue run by the community, got 2 guides and drove up to the parking area of PN Cusuar. We walked just beyond the parking area and started searching in bromeliads in a pine and hardwood forest. There were tons of great bromeliads, but I got only 1 B. conanti between 15:30 and 17:30. Ted found a small green toad in a bromeliad. We went back to town and I decided to search a little at night. I walked down a steep vegetated slope below the albergue and found a small creek flowing through a small patch of nice forest. In ~30min of searching, I found a subadult B. delevini, a B. rufescens, and 2 Anilimenshyla soralia; all on vegetation along the stream. I would have searched for longer, but I forgot to bring bags and my hands were full. I found a big Drangaster in a cafetal on the way up. Aug. 30 Ted, a guide (Miguel (sp?)) and I searched in leaf litter in cafetales around the albergue from 07:00-08:00, hoping for more B. delevini; but found nothing. We got another guide, Jesus, and drove to ~1km from the national park parking lot. We opened some spectacular bromeliads at this site (15.497832 N, 88.20275 W WGS84, 32m asc, J, 1446 m elev.) in nice forest but found no salamanders. Miguel found a toad on the ground. worked here 08:45-10:20 We drove up to the national park parking lot, walked past
