Penion Volcan & HatO del Volcan, Chiriqui
Province, Panama
24 August 4" fog into one log 1/2' x 1/2' x 6', I remained
in the progreso area for ~ 3 hours before taking
to Volcan. ~ 10 AM. N of progreso it stopped to
look the back yard and about an old house
along the road. While the canopy was mostly
removed and replaced with scattered
bamboo, banana trees, and shrubs, there
were many mature trees offering good cover,
and many rotting logs. No salamanders
were found, but I did briefly see a recent-type
tadpole dart off into the brush. I returned
to Volcan at 4 PM. Tonight I will
try again to reach las lagunas

rain had fallen late yesterday afternoon into
evening and I assumed there would be much
amphibian activity. However, despite walking
along the main road and along trails through
the lush primary vegetation along the NE
border of the upper lagoon for over an hour,
no amphibians were found. No breeding
choruses of frogs were found; the only calling
being a high-pitched "peep" coming
