Barra de Santiago, Dept., Ahuachapan, Salvador
It was along this same
path that our native assistant
swears that he saw an
ocelot, Felis, cross from the
brush into the mangroves. We
both hunted for three
days in the brush gaps
and open grazing land on
the sandy island but
shined no cats. While
making our way down the
tidal channel I shot another
Procyon cancrivorus from the boat.
It was perched up on the
mangrove roots.

to leave which we did
toward evening.
Barra de Santiago
a sand strown fishing village
is located about
about fifteen miles along
the coast toward the Guatemala
border. The clump of palm
leaf roofed huts, representing
so many fishermen homes, are
partly shaded by a grove of
cocoanut palms, which can
be seen for miles towering
above the thorny brush back
