To: Don 2007 Journal Camp I to La Laguna Seca, Parque Internacional La Amistad, Bras. Puntarenas, Costa Rica Dec. 21 We hiked track toward La Laguna Seca, between Cerro Beke and Aracias a Hios. On the way to Cerro Beke, we searched from 09:30-14:00 in bromeliads, leaf litter and logs in oak forest with Chusquea. I made a special effort with bromeliads, and we opened a lot but found absolutely nothing. Many were rather wet but some seemed good and most had abundant insect life. We went from La Laguna Seca down a side trail to a house that had been built along a stream in a big cleared area. It rained hard in the afternoon, so we stayed in and listened to Cachi tell off-color stories for about 3 hours - amusing. After dinner, Cachi, Ruido and I walked up the trail back into the forest and searched from 22:15-23:00 with lights along the trail. We saw nothing but heard many clothe-style picadis calling from up in the trees. This elevation doesn't exactly seem to be a hotspot of herb diversity. We spent a comfortable night in the house, not caring about the weather for a change. La Laguna Seca to Tres Colinas, I La Amistad, Bras. Puntarenas, Costa Rica Dec. 22 We walked up to La Laguna Seca and searched for ~45 min in good moss and leaf litter among big oak trees and Chusquea but found nothing. We hiked over Aracias a Hios and started looking in bromeliads as we went down. Our luck improved dramatically below 2600m. We found an elshnstyle picadi in a bromeliad, a 2 large packeypus on the ground and under a log.
