8 Dec, cont'd.
Dragging boats as the bracket we had along way
completely full. Then set 6 nets downstream in
pools, where possible. Saw pigs rooting around.
Nets up slightly after dark. Caught Lonchorhina
in 2 nets, one just under the bridge. Activity died
almost completely at 7:15-7:30 and took nets down
at 8:30. Left ~9:30 and hit Tonalá to find a fiesta
in progress and no room in any inn. Likewise with
Arriaga. Couldn't find a campsite so drove out
to Puerto Arista and camped on the beach, to
bed around midnight.
19 Dec.
Puerto Arista, this. Vacinity
up ~7:30 and pickled some lizards before
gong to Tonalá for breakfast at the Rest, Marcos
on the S side of town-a nice place. then bought
more food & went SE of town to a bridge
13.2Km SE Tonalá on 200. Here I processed while
Sam collected Saccapteryx under the bridge and
many large, colorful Ctenosaurs along the stream.
This stream is not really suitable for bats, so we
drew back to a bridge 8.4 Km SE Tonalá on Hwy 200
and set nets downstream. Got up a total of 4 before
dark and immediately caught Noctillis. Second
hit Net 3 at once. Decided to split up so Sam ran
nets 3&4 & I did 1&2. These were on a shallower,
narrower stream than the others, with more fig trees
