D.O. Straney 1977 88. 28 Aug, contd. It rained heavily for a short while as we were setting up the nets & Gnats & Mosquitos came out in droves, staying all night. The activity was never very great, but more so, surprisingly, in the open area & right at edge of forest. The stream wet got very little. Saw what must have been a Vampyrops flying high over the stream ~ ½ hr into the nite when it was still faintly grey in the sky. Caught: 3 A. jamaicensis, 4 A. cucureros, 1 Vampyrops helleri, 1 Urodarma luluatum, 3 Sturnina, 1 Glossophaga soricina, 1 Choeromaeus intermedius (instantly recognisable - snout much longer than Glossophaga even at the same tail) & ~ 11 Carollica (all released). Very pleased to get the choeroniceous. Down nets about 11 PM then home & to bed for a little reading. 29 Aug. Sirula Up latsih & a quick lunch then processed last nite's catch. Left 4:30 PM afternoon for trip to Savannah. This is a strange habitat in the N Central Valley. A grassland bordered by scruffy woods (2nd growth?), they are flooded now in the wet season leaving close packed hussocks of grass seperated by channels some 6" deep w/ water - mud deeper than this. Set 4 nets in a long "L" w/ short sid || to forest edge. Used poles we brought along & one handy tree - there are few to be had here. Again a slit but drenching
