1500-1800 m camps
20 April
The frost nearly is far from understimulated, even concluding
it is 2°gust.
On arrival, we spent the afternoon eating, writing
notes + preserving animals. When it got dark we spent
an hour or two hunting with headlamps. Then back
for supper + bed.
Weather partly cloudy at 1500 m in AM, clouding
over through the morning + starting to rain ca 100 PM.
Rain on + off all afternoon. Heavy mist at night,
1800 m camp
21 April
As usual morning preserving animals. Federico + Mamel
spent the day hiking up to 2050m and back with some
collecting along the way. Chris wandered off on his own.
Craig + I spent the afternoon looking for lizards in general
but particularly salamanders. Finally found 3 spp. (see
spp. accounts + catalogue). Night - headlamp collecting
again.
Weather today clear to partly cloudy AM + early
afternoon - thunder in distance by mid afternoon but
the storm never reached us. Lack of precipitation today
(except in very early morning before we got up) made for
pretty poor night collecting, although we did get a
Hylox fusculumbra.
