Reserva Nuctandray San Ramon, Alajuela, Costa Rica (cnt...)
June 13 ... Along the N fence line, we found 3 Craugastor fitzingeri +
1 C. lemansfordi, as well as 1 Hana warszewitschii. Also
saw/heard a large number of parrots in trees in cattle pasture
beyond reserve boundary. On the evening, starting at 17:30,
we walked with Chico along the road N of the reserve. Picked
up a DOR Micrurus nigrocinctus and a DOR M. maculatus
~300 m N of reserve entrance. Also found ~5 A. oxyophus
on a rock wall above a small stream hole - they would jump
into water when disturbed. Found 2 very small Marmosa
in a tree/on grass next to road; smaller than other individuals
I've seen. Continued on to Chico's house, ~0.5 km N of reserve
entrance, and walked along a stream on his property. Found
a E. prosolepan female on a leaf over the water. Found a
Bufo coniferus ~2.5 m up in a tree fern in a cattle pasture-
d've never seen an arboreal toad before. Heard, but didn't
see, a frog making a chk-chk-chk-chk-chk sound; saw several
C. fitzingeri + C. lemansfordi, as well as 2 C. crassidigitus.
Returned to the reserve and prepared most of the
remaining specimens.
June 14 We prepared specimens in the morning and then spent ~30 min raking
through a compost pile and looking under logs near the parking
lot found nothing. Then found 1 gecko (Hoplodactylus xanthostigma)
and a gymnothyrid (Ptychophorus spicatus) under a cover object in the
area. Chico brought us a DOR Micrurus, a juvenile Litoria maculata,
and an incredibly elongate Oedipina from the house of someone
