D. A. Good 1986 Journal La Cantanara Camp 3 April First full day at La Cantanara. Up ca. 6:00 + bad breakfast. Ca 8:00, after preparing animals, writing tags + piling 2 frogs that died during the night, Craig, Chris, Federico and I walked north up the hill toward the 700m camp. We went only a couple of km along an incredibly steep trail - it should be interesting trying it with a full pack and going the whole 9km! We poked up the few heaps (mostly Eleutherodactylus transforidii and Norops humilis) we saw along the trail - but for the most part the heap densities were very low - incredibly lower in comparison to La Selva according to Craig. The forest along this part of the trail is pretty well messed up - no really big trees. We tried a few leaf litter plots but found virtually nothing. The only interesting bird this morning was a Yellow-cared Toucanet - a group of several calling loudly. We also got a good look at a White-faced Capuchin. At about noon, we returned to camp - I stayed there writing field notes for yesterday and getting the brownie lantern running - The others went out again. I finished ca. 1:00 PM and went for a walk until about 2:00 PM when I returned to camp for lunch. - No heaps on this walk (to E of camp, through heliconia thickets) but saw oropendolas, parrots, Bay Wren + Bronzy Hermit. After lunch, Hugh Rowell, Craig + I walked upstream along the Rio Cantanara to the waterfall ca 45 min upstream. Here we looked for salamanders in the splash-zone of the waterfall but found none. Then had a swim during
