I got two Papilios, and Gene & I got a few Microtias, some Phycoides and other odds and ends plus a zebra, a hairstreak, and a beautiful blue skipper. I saw many Clemidophorus and one Hyla smithii. Gary & co. got 3 Iguana and one or two Ctenosaura were taken here. We checked in to the Hotel Playa Hermosa, and I immediately took a shower, then ate lunch - we had no breakfast. About 3 PM, Gary, Gene, Brian, Rich, and I went out on a shift to see the mangrove swamp. It is stunning. I saw many zebras, and one beautiful black/red, & yellow helicon. All plants abound. We saw several Iguana, and 2 or 3 turtles, and Gene saw several snakes. Rich shot a spoon-billed heron and a ? kingfisher which was quite rare. In the evening we went along the coast to a banana plantation (an uncertain distance southward) shooting a large ? fish eating bat on the way down. We saw a few Racoons.

At the Hotel we discovered there was nothing to eat with so we borrowed some
