La Canturana to Cuscente camps
5 April
New birds today:
Crimson-collared Tanager
Guatemalan Ivory-bill
King Vulture
Giraud's Flycatcher
All at La Canturana - not much bird watching possible
during the hike.
Cuscente Camp
6 April Woke up this morning to find myself a battleground
for old vs. new intestinal flora. Yuck. Spent most of
the day in camp, making only brief prayers now and
again. Craig + Federico walked to the road-head (2 hrs)
Because cryo liquid nitrogen had not been delivered to camp
- apparently the gorge of the Rio Peje is hard for a horse
to negotiate - they are having trouble supplying camp
with anything but food. Craig + Federico took all of
the animals out + housed them there, then brought them
back to camp to be [illegible] picked. Chris spent the day
tramping around the area. The rest of the crew from
La Canturana came in today.
Camp is on a pasture-covered hillside just below a very
large expanse of very nice 10' forest. We have 1 wood + zinc
building which we use for eating, etc. and a plastic-covered
frame structure where we work on specimens. Tents and hammocks
are scattered all over the pasture in between.
