1986 D.A. Good Journal 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.
