29 November
Got up early, but given breakfast, checking
out, and a delay w/ our passports being
checked. Of the Leno, we arrived ~8:45.
7 Km S. Motupe Cavo la Vieja, Jayayque Prov., Peru
Walked around here til ~1100 - saw only a
few Dicrodon & Tropidurus. I worked the whole
S. side & checked Callopietes site several times
but saw more. Saw small green parrots.
Mark noted a male T. koepcherum which
I kept. As we left battery wires burned, we return to Chiclayo.
2.8 Km N. Jayayca, Jayabayque Prov., Peru
As we were driving S. I saw a huge
Callopietes at the left road edge, which
started off as we stopped. It ran to a
dense thorny fence row and disappeared.
When first seen it was sitting w/ head high,
perpendicular to road edge. This site
(which is 0.8 Km N. of the Km 819 sign)
has sandy desert it mesquite on the W.
road side and rather dense trees
on the E. (lizard) road side. The
fence side is so dense it's almost totally
shaded, and we could hear someone
chopping wood. Saw Tropidurus and
small Dicrodon in the fence row.
after deciding lizard was lost we
headed back to Chiclayo for lunch
