1000m camp
of rain occasionally, but never much.
11 April Up just after 6. After breakfast, Chris walked back down
toward Cascante camp, Craig up the trail toward 1500m,
and I hiked up the trail toward Gary Hartshorn's 1000m-
tree plot. I found absolutely nothing in the 2 hours
I was out - then returned to camp + walked along the
stream downstream from camp for a while. Peeled a lot
of moss off of rocks + logs + opened several bromeliads Also
turned rocks + logs. Found only an Anole egg buried
in moss or a rock in the stream. Lots of moss along
the stream valleys here - not so much bighes or ridges.
However, bromeliads seem commoner on ridges.
Returned to camp ca 1030 + [illegible] loafed for a while
reading a book ("Congo" by Michael Crichton) that was left
by the mammal [illegible] team up ahead of us. Craig returned
about noon with a few things including (at least) a
Salamander (Nototriton - see app. accounts). We had
lunch + some thereafter Manuel + Federico hiked in from
700m. Craig + I then returned to the spot where
he had collected the Salamander (ca 1km up the trail
toward 1500m). We got 3 more as well as a few other
lumps.
Back to camp ca 430 - Chris soon returned with a
new Nicros + a rare Drymophila (see app. accounts).
Also more food, which we have to supply ourselves from Cascante.
The rest of the evening was taken up with supper and
