Jan.7 Mountain west of San Pedro Sula, Depto. Cortes, Honduras (cont.)
... Bromeliads are quite wet but not as lush as at Cerro Negro
Plaza. We searched until 13:00, and I got a juvenile B. orcutti
while Jed got an adult and juvenile B. lemnii. We had lunch
and took photos, and then searched in logs, leaf litter and
bromeliads from 14:00-15:30, but found nothing more. I
was surprised by how much C. masalis looks like C. versicolor,
although this C. masalis seemed to have smaller nostrils. We then
went downhill to where we got the first B. rufescens in Sept.
and walked along a trail through good lowland forest. We
opened the few good bromeliads we saw (less than 10) and searched
in logs, but found nothing. We emerged at a point slightly
lower down on the road (15.48720°N; 88.09592°W [WGS84],
10m acc.), 1229m elev.), having searched from 15:30-17:00. This
trail would be a good area to work at night. We then drove
back to San Pedro Sula.
Jan.8 Montanuelas near "Barrazas de Francheras", Depto. Olanigua, Honduras
We got a late start today, because Jed was trying unsuccessfully
to arrange a visit to Los Cayos Cochinos off Gaste for a golfer
he wants. We drove to Siguatepeque and I was stopped twice
by police, once for doing a U-turn without a green arrow and
once for not having an emergency fire extinguisher at a
checkpoint, but talked my way out of a ticket both times.
We wanted to visit the supposed sole locality for B. verdonalis
in Honduras, "Barrazas de Francheras", near Olanigua. Jed
