Kanto, Dean 2011 Journal Aug. 8 FUNDAECO field station, Cerro San Hil, Depto. Izabal, Guatemala. I arrived in Guatemala on Aug. 6. Trip started Aug. 7 w/ participants: me, Carlos Nasquez, Gabriela Parris, Ted Papenfuss, Jim Patton, Ella Naguez, Argio Perez, Stephanie Ordovaz, Karri Bowie, Julio Mendez, Dan Wait, Olga Sanchez, Juan Fernando Hernandez. Slept at Backpackers Hotel in Pur Dulce - cool place. This morning, drove to small village of Caribony; met Elias, our guide from FUNDAECO. We shuttled things down to a river, then carried the luggage uphill (w/ help from several porters) to a FUNDAECO field station. Spent about an hour in afternoon poking through leaf litter + opening logs above field station; found nothing. Jim Patton got a juvenile Ochthera elongata (apparently active) around 13:00 on the trail, said he thought he saw an adult in some place that escaped. After dinner, me (4 persons + Elias) went out around 1900, just after dark. Fabry found a Gryphophorus hernandezi sleeping on a small tree + Carlos got a big female B. rufescens under a leaf. Fabry also got a Gruegestor ches, caught by Carlos; I saw a Gruegestor + an Andis list both escaped. Further along trail, Carlos got a june Parthenium mesutium that someone else had seen. Much further along long trail, I got a Rothuichis schlegeli on a leaf, and Carlos found a june. [illegible] Andis capita. We arrived back at the station around 21:30. It rained in Pur Dulce for ~15 min last night but seemed very dry here. No rain today, weather was warm, perhaps ~80 F. Forest here in great shape; big trees w/ large buttresses, lots of huge palm trees w/o much of a trunk, pacaya, lianas, fairly dense understory.
