D. A. Good 1980 Journal 13 December (cont) Cerro Mozotul Chiripas couple of minutes later with real grinner cables and we [illegible] tried starting again and this time it worked. We therefore followed Duke down the mountain and parked just outside Pintojentela so that we could be sure of catching him on his way back. We waited there from ca. 1100 to 1530 and were about to come back up the mountain when he finally appeared. The three of us then returned to our collecting sites to check the rest of our traps at ca. 1615. We picked up several more Peromyscus of both species as well as a species of Neotoma (see journal D.S. Rogers). We camped at the highest collecting locality and set up a bat net. However, the fog became so bad we took it down soon afterward. One of the locals from the morning came by + had supper with us. Bird species seen today in the Pinus - Betulaceae woods - - Green Violet-ear - very common and noisy - Green-throated Mountain-gem - less common - Rufous-collared Robin - possibly a species of Solitaire Beard - Whip-poor-will - one heard at dusk - Rufous-browed Wren - fairly common and susceptible to owl immitations. This list is short because most of the day was spent waiting for Duke. The habitat at the 3 collecting localities was as follows: 2450 m locality: much pasture + farmland bordering on forest. Forest consisting of perhaps 70% Betulaceae and 30% Pinus with the pines usually towering above the other trees. Also thick underbrush especially at borders.
