Coro Negro Norte, Sierra de Caral, Depts. Izabal, Guatemala Jan. 5 We woke up somewhat late today, since we were tired and it was still cold and rainy. The rain was lighter than yesterday, and stopped by about 09:00. Augusto Carlos and I found a trail down to the creek for night work, and then we walked up the road to do more bromeliad work. We arrived at the area that still had big trees but no smaller trees or understory and started cutting bromeliads at 12:00. We quickly got a B. rufescens, but the bromeliads were filled to the brim with water and we opened many without success (or much hope of it). Carlos and Augusto got a huge male B. dunnii in a sideways bromeliad on a fallen tree, as well as a Bromeliphyllum bromeliad. We opened many bromeliads at this site, and searched in some excellent logs as well. We continued opening bromeliads as we walked up the road, but the forest on both sides quickly became cafetales and then cattle pasture. We had lunch on top of Coro Negro Norte on the Honduran border (so the locals said), where not a tree was left standing, although some forest was left on a steep slope. We kept working bromeliads until 16:00 without getting anything else and then walked back to the house. At 17:00 we walked down to the creek, searching along the way - Augusto found a male B. delfini on low vegetation. We walked along the creek for 30-40 min, and Carlos got a Dullmandyia sadin and a Phycothyla hypomycter), and he and I each got a Pleiothryle matidae, tall on vegetation. This creek is where Guptobiter wakei was found (we think) and looks very nice, with big trees and lots of broad-leaved understory plants like
