into, Dean 2008 Journal Las Cabanas, N of La Trinidad, Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de Las Minas, Depto. El Progreso, Guatemala 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.
