Ojo de Agua, Veracruz to Tuxtepec, Oaxaca 1 January Up 0730. Woke to the sound of a very loud preludious Blackbird just outside the tent. I went out bird watching + salamander hunting while Duke + Ed went out to check their traps. As I wasn't finding any salamanders and the others were unable to be quite a while checking traps, I returned to camp and began packing up 0845. D+E came back ca. 1000 with a very large number of rodents (see journal D.S. Rogers for details). We then had breakfast, finished packing and left 1130. We drove to a locality known to Duke S of Tuxtepec (see journal D.S. Rogers for route + specific locality) where we arrived 1500 after stopping various places along the way to buy fruit, etc. Spent the rest of the afternoon alternately looking for lizards and guarding the car as Duke had his live animals outside.
