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,

#23 we together when shot. We got the third one
but it was flavor apart too much to put up,
