D A Good 1986 Journal Variety of Tapanti reserve, cont. not captured. 9 May We reached the Oripendola trailhead ca. 11:30 AM and proceeded up the trail which goes steeply uphill on the E side of the road through a variety of habitats including streamsides, grassy field, 2° growth and 10 frost. The trail will make a good transect up to 1530 m, which is as high as it goes before returning to the main road. It should be very good at night as well. Along much of the upward (southern) leg of the trail, it is bordered on one side on the other by an earth wall, at the base of which looks like excellent Oedipina habitat. Along the trail we saw numerous Eleutherodactylus pulchellus active on the ground - we collected 8, mostly juveniles, between 1390 and 1520 m elev. We also collected a Norops capito active on a fallen log and [illegible] Eleutherodactylus melanostictus in a handful of moss pulled from a vertical tree ca 2 m above the ground. - I pulled a lot of moss in hopes of finding a salamander but found none. A few bromeliads were opened as well, with no luck - we didn't want to be too destructive, as this was a park nature trail. We returned to the road ca 2:00 PM (saw a Blake Green here) and crossed it + went down to the river where we spent most of the rest of the afternoon swimming and/or fishing. Back to the cabina then in late afternoon. We didn't go out tonight as it hadn't rained all day and we were worn out with all our hiking. Weather mostly overcast - but no rain.
