E. Cavaler 1967 3. Journal forest w/p Rio Torro (maine Budge, 4 mi w. Guaples, Limon, Pao) costanza July 24 Up at 600 at Los Diamante's Farm. Got ride i jeep to above location. Went through town (2-3 blocks) then turned west. Drove 4mi on just 4 rocks road. Passed a few isolated houses, horses, chickens & people. From the very new (steel concrete) bridge we walked up the hill to the forest. Much water in paths & several streams (one large). Found very heavy forest which we couldn't enter. Men who was cutting trees showed me across and made a path. We entered through into clear area in a forest & got three birds: #__, #__,and #__ The #3_ + are in Mercedes McDiarmid's Catalog. The third is my mine (#30) Since I had no machete, went with the man who shaved us the path. The path had thick forest on both sides of it & was difficult to enter. Up about 1/2 a mile I saw and shot two woodpeckers from a tree about 50ft high. The first one I looked for for about 20 minutes, the second got stuck in crotch of tree. Collected flybird (#25) in dense forest. Much to my surprise he dried on the dead bone. He was on the ground in some foggy leaves. The. # [illegible] 24 shot just after the first stick forest ended & the less dense area began. #22, mercedes #23 we together when shot. We got the third one but it was flavor apart too much to put up,
