July 25
I woke up early to put up mist nets with Pawe, Rosa and Craig.
After breakfast, Craig, Ted, Carlos, Jacobo, Nance and I walked
down the path to the Piedra del Angel. On the way, we passed
Eric, who had found a B. morio inside a log while looking for
beetles. After catching a few Sceloporus on the Piedra, where we
saw a lot of white-tailed swallows, we worked our way back
to the cabins searching in some great logs and under debris.
Craig found a B. morio under a small piece of wood, while
the rest of us found nothing. We spent about 3 hours searching
in total. Forgot to mention that Craig found an adult C. gastricus
in the clearing near the cabins this morning, and then we caught
5 M. morelleti, 6 Sceloporus taeniocercus and a Campylorhynchus.
We spent the afternoon numbering and squabbling everything. Meanwhile,
Sergeis caught a few Keithrodontomys, Peromyscus gundlii,
Pawe got quite a few birds as well (will list at end of trip) and
spent most of the day pressing birds with Rosa. We went back out
at night and Craig, Ted and I went up towards Cerro
Lindon while Nance, Carlos and Jacobo did the same loop as
last night. It was sunny all day and clear at night, so the
forest was dry. We didn't go far up since it didn't look
good, and saw only 2 or 3 Dasyprocta in 1 hr of searching.
The others did the same loop as last night and found 3 B. morio,
all on ferns along the road! We got a hummingbird and a
phylllostomid bat out of one of the nets on the way back.
