San José to Liberia, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
5 August
Dave Wabes, David Cannatelle (GCF) and I left San José
about 10:30 this morning and drove to Liberia, Guanacaste,
which we reached about 2:30. Here we got a room in
a motel and then drove out to Santa Rosa National Park
to try to get in touch with Dan Janger, who was
going to arrange for us to visit Volcán Orizí + Volcán
Cacao. We found him at Santa Rosa + made arrangements
to meet at 9:00 AM tomorrow to be shown the
facilities on Cacao. Talked to him ca ½ hr, then
drove N from Santa Rosa to a flooded pasture Janger
had mentioned 10 km N of the park in hopes of finding
some frogs. We found more but the area looked
promising enough that we decided to return after
dark. We then drove back to Liberia + had supper
+ headed back out to this flooded area ca 6:30. We
found some Bufo marinus + another sp. of Bufo
(perhaps leutheni) along the road and marinus in
the flooded area. Also in the flooded area were Ilysa
micicephala, Ololgyon staufferi, Phrynolemus pustuliosus
and a species of Smilisca, all but the Smilisca (of which
we found 2) fairly common. We worked in this area
for about 1-1½ hours, then returned to Liberia where
we viewed the Ololgyon + Ilysa as well as 2 frozen
Rana Janger had gotten for us on Volcán Cacao.
He had also given us an Eleutherodactylus alviri and
a preserved B. litoglossa robusta, also from
Volcán Cacao.
