Kanto, Seno 2013 Journal High point on road from Copilla to Japalapa, Chiapas, Mexico. Aug. 20 On Aug. 18, we packed up our camp, hiked out and spent the night in Cintalapa. Yesterday, we picked up Adriella Parra at the Tuxtla airport, stopped for food in Tuxtla, and drove N towards Japalapa. On road from Copinala to Copilla, vegetation turns to very open oak forest (due to wood cutting, undoubtedly) and near Copilla it changes to pine-oak forest. There is a microwave/radio-antenna station with a fairly large cloud forest patch (~40ha). Relax it; otherwise, forest here is mostly open. Spent the night in Japalapa at cool, cheap Hotel (Posada Hotel del Gusto) and got permission to work in forest reserve. This morning, drove 45-antenna to set up camp along a dirt service road. Had breakfast in Copilla and got permission to work in pine-oak forest. Once camp was set up, a really loud thunderstorm hit and cl took a nap. Sergio got a POR juvenile Thamnecia + we caught a Cerropichus that came out of the rain under our white tarp. Our camp is on the edge of a small cloud forest fragment above the road. At 21:00, Ruby, Jose, Omar, + cl went on a nice path through the cloud forest reserve below the road and searched until 23:00. From what cl could see, forest is mixed-in really good shape; big trees, tons of epiphyte growth (although few large Bromeliads), tree ferns, and a dense understory. Cl got 2 Bohartioids (1 in fern, 1 on ground) w/ an unusual orange (vs. cream) ventral coloration; but also look a little different to me (very pointed 3rd toe on head); they got 1 more. Cl found 5 Geogaster + 2 Anolis histrio smithi. Weather was cloudy + calm after stormy afternoon.
