A. Good 1987 Journal Ubrein, Cacao Prov. Guanacaste, Costa Rica 22 August Florento - we began hearing Centrolenella - we looked along the stream for some time but, although we heard several, we collected none. We did collect an Eleutherodactylus fleischmanni juvenile, a small Boettger's lateralis, + some Centrolenella tadpoles. The Boettger's was dropped along a small branch ca. 6 inches above the stream. Also heard (type) nijfreculis, but collected none. They seem to be less common here than below Casa Mengo. Returned to Casa Mengo + bed by 9:00 PM. Weather windy (what else?) + intermittent rain. The morning is usually the rainiest time, we often get a little rain in the afternoon. The wind, however, never lets up. According to Mengo, this is very unusual for this time of year. 23 August Breakfast 6:00. Spent most of the morning preserving specimens. While we were doing this a local worker ("Walti") came in with a good sized Boettger's lateralis which we preserved as well. He found it in the bushes while clearing a trail nearby. Ca. 9:30 we poked around in a ravine just N of Casa Mengo - with leaf litter peeled up against rocky banks - perfect for Oedipina if there are any here. Didn't find any so maybe there's not. All we came up with for the morning's endeavors was a tiny little juvenile Eleutherodactylus on the forest floor. Lunch 12:00 - at 2:00 we hiked to the top of the hill to the west of Casa Mengo from which Lobe Nicaraoa is visible. This hill is covered with a natural grassland + when we got there it was obvious why - The wind rips across the hill at a great rate - it must have been doing 50-60 mph when we were there + I think it has been doing so every day
