Ricardo and I unpacked and organized
the equipment for tomorrow. Outside,
cricket and frog sing.
July
18 August (Sunday)
There are 2 bunk bed, and 3 beds in the
researchers' house. We are staying at the
smaller of the 2 houses. There's a big
room: Kitchen + dining room + living room
+ working space, with a big wooden table
where we can work. The stove leaks gas,
and the fridge is a very strong (!) freezer!
There's even a balcony at the back of the
house w/ a big sink. The bathroom has,
electric shower.
We set up 120 traps today, from 9:00
am to 4:00 pm. Temperature last night was
15°C. The max today was 25°C. It's been
very humid, but no rain yet. Traps set:
40 Tomahawks + 80 Shermans. Stations
w/ 1 Tom on ground and 1 Sherman on the
ground and 1 Sherman on a branch at ca.
2m. Stations 20m apart from each other.
We started just after crossing Rio Com-
pido and kept along the trail, going
up in elevation. The last stretch today
was very steep.
