into, Dear 2008 journal July 28 La Union area, Depto. Zacapa, Guatemala We spent the morning and early afternoon preparing the many specimens we have collected thus far. At 15:00, we set out for la Union, Zacapa with to goal of visiting the cloud forest there and searching at night. We were told that the road was open despite major landslides a week ago in the area. We nearly reached La Union, only to find that a major landslide and river were blocking the road. We found some nearby coffee farms and parked in bananas and a few logs from about 17:30-18:15. Most of the bananas were the not good green kind, but there were some red ones (guajes morados). Carlos and I each got 2 B. rufescens, but one of mine escaped when I went to look for Craig & Nancy to show them; all were in red bananas. I also found a juvenile Aphnomorphus under some banana leaves. We drove back towards Ahulan and stopped at a ditch for Nancy to swab Engystomops, 23.9 km by rd from Ahulan. Carlos found a small Bok Bothrops asper. We continued on 0.4km to a larger temporary pool where we found/heard many Septoctyulus melanostictus, D. Maudinic, Paramerlenderi, E. gulosissus, B. sallipes and maybe a microhylid (my heard call). Carlos got a Grayaestor along a nearby stream, and Nancy saw an armadillo in the brush. We had an excellent dinner at Restaurante El Jardin in Ahulan, and got back to San Augustin around 23:30. 8 of us went on the trip to La Union, while Kaurie and Rosa stayed behind to net and prep birds. The day was hot and clear.
