14 August Notes written 16 August. Met Wolf Grundon at breakfast in
the Pension. He took us out to the reserve + spent the day
with us while we looked for Salamanders + frogs - found
several Oedipina uniformis, O. polylei, Nototriton puerdori +
Bolitoglossa robusta at various places (see catalogue for localities,
DBW notes for details). Most were in roadbank moss, although
2 Nototriton were in moss on trees, the B. robusta was under a log
in the forest, and one O. polylei was in a pile of shed bark under
a tree. Back to Pension for supper - spent the evening until
10:30 tissueing + preserving animals.
15 August Notes written 16 August. Spent morning with Wolf Grundon
again on different trails from yesterday - spent considerable
time on no trail, at all - just brush-bashing - apparently
characteristic of Grundon. Got a few things while with
him (see Catalogue + DBW + CF notes for details) but did quite
well after he left us - several more Oedipina, Nototriton +
Bolitoglossa. Then went to Fogelens at about 4:00 to see some
pictures they had taken of lagoons + of the transect down the
Atlantic slope from Monteverde. Also saw their new house.
Back to Pension Quetzal for Supper then out at night
on Sendera Rio to look for frogs - found several Hyla, some
Eleutherodactylus + one Bolitoglossa robusta. Back to Pension ca.
11:00.
