DA Gower 1986 Journal La Cantanava Camp, cont. 3 April (cont) Whil, Kathy Pringle, Frank Trusba, Chris and Federico showed up. Walked back to camp ca. 5:36 by wheel time dark was falling.

Weather today mostly high overcast - some brief glimpses of sun + brief sprinklings of rain. - not enough to dampen vegetation. See catalogue + spp accounts for details of beeps seen.

At 8:25 I collected an Ameiva festiva in the grass next to camp with a lizard nose. At 9:30, Chris, Federico and I went out separately to look for beeps while Craig stayed in camp taking color notes, etc. I went up the trail toward Rio Guaricimo for about a kilometer and then up the hill to the left of the trail into the forest. I poked around in the leaf litter quite a bit, but, as was the case yesterday, the leaf litter Herpetofauna seems to be sparse. Lots of Paraponera ants, though. Returned to camp about 11:00 and spent the next 3 hours picking specimens. Then lunch. At 3:00 PM Federico, Craig,
