Hanken, James 1975 Journal Green Turtle Station, sea level, Tortuguero, Limón Province, Costa Rica 18 July edge nest consisting only of only a few flat leaves arranged in a small pile on top of a low bush, the nest at ~ 3' above the water level. We didn't have time to go anywhere yesterday afternoon as we had to fish for food, but I did find a small snake slithering along the path by the river boat landing in Tortuguero at ~ 7 AM. (See color notes below). The weather has been mostly sunny + warm with little rain for the last few days until last night when heavy rains began which have continued off and on ever since until the present (~ 8:30 PM). 20 July Color notes for frogs of 18 July: #142 - dorsum tan with thin longitudinal median stripe; dark mask beginning at tip of snout passing through and below eye, and narrowing to a lateral stripe to groin; belly and throat pale, but ventral and lateral surfaces of hind limbs salmon pink, as are gular surfaces and axilla #143 - dorsum dark brown with scattered dark flecks, legs lighter with dark bands; salmon pink coloration on front of thigh and calf
