around 15:00. Krapf hors + a bird in the afternoon while it rained. After dinner, we started up towards the summit of the volcano at 19:30. I got an Andig crossulus about 1/3 of the way up. At the same point (roughly) where we found salamanders last time, I got a Blitoglossa on a tree trunk. This is where Bromeliads start to appear and the forest more closely resembles a cloud forest. At a big female Blitoglossa on a leaf further up the path, by far the largest individual we've found as well as another on a tree trunk and a second A! crossulus.

June 17 Carlos + I spent an hour or so this morning trying to catch Sceloporus up/rubber bands on boulders after the sun came out. We got more, but I did see a Malpaya sinuospinata that ran under a rock. After lunch, we took the truck to a spot 1.8 km from the main highway to Chiquimula and searched in logs in a cafetal from 13:30-14:50. I got a Linia sebae in a big log and 3 Bufo exasper near a small pond and stream. Carlos got a Aethomys asutus. I was hoping to find an Oedipina taylort, which habitat looks really good for Oedipina. Looked in banana plants in a cafetal on the...
