1983 22 January (continued) Dead from overheating, so I popped it in the remaining vial of alcohol. Eladio scanned the gorge and had five hawk eagles (sp. probably both another & black uncertain) in sight at once. We set out going N, first through forest then over a big finca. At 1120 hr, 1840' el., there are big Tapirus tracks on the trail. We re-entered good forest and at 1135 hr, 1900' el., I catch a very big Eleutherodactylus on the trail. Like the E. biporcatus I found during the day at La Selva last year, this one froze after one leap, was easily snatched and struggled & because of slime was hard to hold. Started down into the Rio Sardinallito gorge and stopped for a picture w/ Eladio at 1147 hr. While we sat on the trail a Zeocoptesnis albicollis landed on a limb just in front of us. We reached the bottom and crossed the rio at 1200 hr, 1540' el. Going up the other side I caught a little Eleutherodactylus w/ a fiddle like pattern on its back at 1206 hr, 1620' el.; we reached the top at 1212 hr, 1780' el. Crossed a ravine and a ridge of finca, then down a steep slope to a little cabin beside a small fast moving stream; a small beagle-like dog out front barking and retreating to edge of woods whenever we drew near. Crossed stream and went up a long, hard slope past quite a few cows. Eladio leading and bent on reaching the top before stopping,
