Campamento El Triunfo, Reserva de la Biosfera El Triunfo,
Chiapas, Mexico (cont.)
March 25... I got a very big horned toad that had fallen but was still
upright and attached to the fence, and it had another juvenile
Rhinella [illegible]. We stopped looking at this point (about 14:30)
and walked back to camp for lunch. We met Ted on the
way back, who had only found small horned toads and no salamanders.
We had opened only about 15 big ones from the point where I
got the Bittacus, since the good ones were hard to reach.
After lunch, Antonio and Nora swatted the frogs from last
night while Adriela, Ted and I took the path up towards
the ridge dividing the Pacific and Central Depression drainages.
We got a great look at a big horned guan along the way - it
really is a spectacular bird, if a bit odd-looking. We found
only about 4 reachable horned toads and no salamanders. We
climbed up to the divide, from which we could see the Pacific
Ocean in the distance. We turned back for dinner at this
point. After dinner, all of us but Ted went to look for frogs
with Antonio. We went along the stream behind the stilted
kitchen and searched from 98:30PM to around 10PM.
We saw about 10 Plestoshylla [illegible], but nothing else.
Antonio and Nora continued to look but I turned back.
The day was partly sunny and the night was clear and cool.
