into, Dear 2009 Journal Aug. 29 El Haidro, Reserva Atlantí - El Haidr, Depto Jinotega, Nicaragua Yesterday, took pango from Kibera Hill to Bluefields. Waited 5 hours at dock to get pango to El Rama, then drove to Matagalpa. This morning, drove to a place called El Haidro in Reserva Atlantí - El Hidro, where there is a cabin to stay in. Arrived late in heavy rain, Fed insisted he wouldn't sleep there. Area has lots of coffee and bananas around the houses, with very nice cloud forest. Lots big broadleaf trees, tree ferns, and thick understory with many figras. Searched under brush piles around cleared areas + coffee, near where Javier found a single Odontira before, from about 15:45 - 16:00. Then split up - Javier stayed there, while 3 of us walked up into forest. Searched under logs + in leaf litter with stakes until 18:00. I went up to 1500m into nice forest, got lost + didn't get back until 18:30. We got 2 Andis quzequulus in forest. Around pond at buildings, found A. callidryas, Perna (irrespective), Perodophus elburcautus, Bato exciter, and Emiliser baudinii. It rained for first half hour of searching, then was cloudy. Drove up to Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) field station - very nice, saw an Agalychnis along the way. Walked down to a nearby stream, found 2 Bostrichia schlegelii along road in yucca plants and Perna iridellae along road. Searched along a nice stream in forest for 20:00-22:00; found a Phasgurus liastoma (heard many), Andis capito, A. lemnifera, A. quzequulus, and heard Hyliolatriochina Meighmani. Then walked along path in forest from ~ 22:00-22:45, and found a huge Chamtobla senchosa, plus a Pirstinantes riders and A. capito. Walked back to UCA station. Also got A. baudinii + Lepidodactylus melanostictus along road.
