Reserva Nectandra, San Ramon, Alajuela, Costa Rica
Spent some time this morning talking to the Fannettes and Alberto
Ugalde, one of the founders of the Costarican national park system.
Spent most of the rest of the day photographing, prepping and
identifying specimens. It rained quite hard in the afternoon
and early evening. One of the staff, Freddy, had brought us
an Andro and a hyliid yesterday and brought 2 more Andros
today. In the evening, beginning at 18:15, we walked up trail
C, starting at the end. On the way, we saw 3 E. preussleri
(heard many more), 1 B. warszawitzschii + 1 Craugastor near the
pond. It was raining fairly hard and the level of herp activity
seemed much lower tonight; along the trail, I found only a
Craugastor (and heard many [more] calling). Followed back out
and searched near the entrance. Flor and Austin found a big OOK
Atropoides nummifer on the road outside the gate and a Liriis
maculata along the path. Near the greenhouses, Austin
and I got another Craugastor (on ground) and a female Andro.
I then found a Duellmanohyla Ruficula sitting on a leaf
about 0.5m off the ground near a stream. It was
clearly raining when we finished searching around 20:20.

We spent much of today identifying and prepping specimens.
After dinner, we went out with Felix to look at night. On the
morning, we had seen 2 A. nummifer along the trails that the workers
had found. In the evening, we started searching at 19:10 and walked
to the mirador, finding a C. ressigii and a C. transandi
along the trail. Near the mirador, we heard frogs and walked
