DA Good 1986 Journal 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
