10 Aug (cont'd)
A restaurant (Toron) just S of this. Drove
Turn this "Nelle de la General" S- very cut
over & in grazing (alt ~ 700m). Finally found
a nice stretch of habitat 17+ km S San Isidro.
where a dirt road takes off to L. went up this
to the Finca "Tienda Santo" & got permission to
collect. Very friendly. The administrator told
us to look in the "Canal del Rio" & so we looked
under the Pan Am & the culvert had many
bats. It rained so we processed Sternura.
Set up ~ 4pm & we stretched an 18' net over
one end of the culvert & Ray screened &
Renee roods from the other. Got 38 Carollia
(2sp?) & 4 Glossopaga. Tired, went back
to Hotel La Sur & got a nice room ($17!)
& meal at Toron. Processed bats till 11:30
& read to sleep.
11 Aug.
San Isidro, Prov. San Jose'
Up late, lunch then back to river.
Made 2 more tries for bats in culvert & got
47+19 Carolia discarded
Many- the net was better set this time.
Then set 5 nets in nice second growth (tall)
along stream across Pan Am from the dirt rd.
On other side of stream up steep bank, was
what looked to be real forest. Nets set
11 & I to stream. Asked back to Toron
