Claracler 1967 4 Journal farrest W of Rio Tarso @ Maria Bridge, 4 mi to Huapiles Limon Prov Costa Rica cont. July 24th They all had blue (play) eye rings. #26 was shot at edge of farrest. #27, #28 x #29 were shot along the road on the way to the farm. There were only two showers when we were back. Arrived at farm about 3:20. We expected to have collected much more than we did, but the forest was quiet. Saw about 12 black vultures in tree = 60 just above the fairly dense forest. The tree was free of leaves. Some rain afternoon. Las Diamantas, Ferin 1 mi S.E. Huapiles, Junior Prov, Costa Rica July 25 Walking East toward where Mercedes & I had decided to put up the mist nets, we saw very little activity. As usual the flocks of parrots, groved lilies (nice), seed ratas, oropendola, and on occasions it is difficult to tell the sounds of insects and frogs from the sounds of birds. We put the nets x(28 them) in cut over primary forest. The forest was dense enough to shield us from the rain. Mercedes & I hunted separately as usual. Since I am still w/o machete I went to the grassy areas (the orchards bordered by forest). Shot a parrot who was only a flash getting in a tree by the road. (Beautiful!). In an orchard of trees (like palm trees but short x with little trunk) I shot a Great Kiskin. Spent 45 minutes hunting the bird that was talking to it when I shot it. (mate)
