1000m camp
13 April
A very unproductive day. Up late (ca 8:30) + spent
the whole morning + half the afternoon preserving specimens.
No one seemed to be very anxious to go out collecting
Today - a combined reaction to the weather (heavy rain
most of the morning) and overwork the night before.
About 12:30pm Federico + Manuel walked down to the 700
m camp for lunch + returned ca 5:30 pm. After finishing
with the specimens, Craig went out for a bit of a walk. Other
than that no daylight collecting was done - I caught up on
field notes in the latter ½ of the afternoon.
From about 7:30 - 9:30 pm we all went out night collecting
+ found a fair number of frogs but not much else - though
the vegetation was wet, it was not drizzling while we were out
as it had been on the previous night.
To bed ca 10:30.
Weather today - heavy rain in first ½ of morning +
lot afternoon - variable cloudiness + occasional drizzle at
other times.
14 April
Another slow day, especially since we didn't go out
at night tonight. Spent the morning once again
preserving yesterday's catch. Chris went up the trail
in the direction of 1500m. In the afternoon I went
back to the 1030m stream where we had gotten the
Nototriton. I was there from ca 1:30pm to
4:30pm but found more. Back to camp + spent
the evening doing very little.
