Wicenty Tapanti reserve, cant.
18 May went out looking for frogs. Steve + I were dropped off
at the Arboles Cardios trail while Kiisa + Phil went up
to the Palmito trail. Things were pretty slow - too dry.
We found only 1 Eleutherodactylus diastema in the
forest and some Rana, Bufo and Norops along the road.
Kiisa + Phil found some more Norops and 3 [illegible] pseudopuma
on the road.
Weather: dry - only light rain in late afternoon around
the cabin, although things were a bit wetter up at the
Palmito trail.
19-20 May Spent 2 days on the Atlantic coast at Cabruta in Leiner
Province - Relaxing + snorkeling. Collected 2 Gonatodes (?)
on the beach on the 19th.
The evening of the 20th was spent looking for frogs
in the Tapanti reserve after our return co late afternoon -
it had rained a fair amount while we were gone - the
rivers + streams are all much higher than they had been.
Nevertheless, frogs were few + far between - got only 1
[illegible] pseudopuma on the road + a couple of Norops. Very
quiet - only Eleutherodactylus diastema calling although
the vegetation was wetter than it has been for a while.
Saw a rabbit + a porcupine on the road. - also lots of Nightjars.
21 May Spent the morning today preserving specimens. Kiisa worked
on her frog brains, + Phil helped her for a while and
went out looking for lizards for a while. By about 1:30 PM
