Ronto, Sean 2012 Journal (cont.) Jan. 12... in banana plants, under leaves). We drove back to Finca Magdalena Miramar and were going to stop to open more banana plants but the only red bananas were in very populated areas w/ tons of people, or on plots of land whose owners were elsewhere. We finally stopped in a cafetal 13.5 km (by rd.) from the finca and searched for 25-30 min in green bananas which had nothing. We got 4 Andis and 4 Gracastor out amongst leaf litter in the coffee bushes. Drove back to our finca, took photos, & prepped specimens. The bird team was totally swamped so I prepared 2 birds for them. Las Nubes, Chicalal, Depts. Jutiapa/Tepeango and San Marcos, Depto. San Marcos, Guatemala Jan. 13 We waited until after breakfast for a vehicle, then drove to Las Nubes on the Colombia-San Juan Ostuncalo highway, where we have collected B. franklini & B. sp. "Chicalal" before. The plan for today is to collect B. franklini & B. lineolus for a next gen sequencing project client want to do. Conditions in the disturbed secondary forest where we found salamanders before (14.80441°N, 91.66312°W [±8m], 2322m elev.) were extremely dry. We opened 25 bromeliads which had a little water but not too much and seemed perfect, but found nothing. We moved to a spot 2.8 km down the road toward Colombia (14.78905°N, 91.67367°W [±7m], 2130m elev.) and opened 9 very big bromeliads in very bad secondary forest and on the edge of cow pasture but found nothing. We then drove on to San Marcos, stopped at the Hotel Villa Astur (old Hotel Vega) to get rooms, then drove to the San Marcos municipal
