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
