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.
