The area here - Maareta Central - is heavily
disturbed with rolling hills. Descended
to the coast on an excellent rd then
up to Caños where we reached Hacienda
"La Pacifica" by 1:15. Bonnie Bower &
Rolof Koford are spending 2 years here
and we spent the PM catching up with
them. They are working on grooved-billed
ani social systems & are also radio-
tracking prehensil-tailed porcupines.
Set nets along a cleared gulley beside the
Rio Corolici. Returned for dinner & back
out by 7 for up-nets. Got one Rhynchonycteris
right off, then others trickled in. Last bat
