14 Dec.
Rio Laja vicinity, Chis. to 7mi N Tapanatepec, cap.
Up about 7:30 and on the road by 10 after Sam hunted
birds and we did some skeletons. Bought more food in
Tuxtla then brunch at Restaurante "La Selva" - a fine
place. On the road by 11:30 headed for Rizo de Oro.
Passed Baker's 42km W Cuntalopa locality but this
is now in very bad shape (agriculture) that we won't
collect here. Went out the road to Colonia Figueroa
at Rizo de Oro for 2 1/2 mi to a stream Ted Papenfuss
had suggested but, while there was some water
in it, it was far too open & dry away from the river
to be worth anything. This road is terrible. Decided
to net again 7mi N Tapanatepec and arrived
there at 3:30. Will call this 7.3 km NE junct 180-20
(or 190), Oaxaca. I processed bats until 6:30.
Sam set nets (3) about 1/4 mi upstream where
a small tributary enters for the R (walking upstream).
Caught the Trachops (right above the water) & Centurio
in this net. Nets down by 9:00 as activity
light. Saw many Pteronotus davyi (?)
