1983 8 February Spent much of the day sleeping and reading. Late morning went to 260m on the East River Trail and collected a pile of hair, skin w/ scales, and bones that appears to be the remains of a largely eaten armadillo. Then to the arboretum where I photographed the remains (feathers only) of a Trogon clathratus on the end of a large log. Doug Jervey saw a falcon, Microastin sp. fly up from the log early this morning, and we surmise it was the predator. After lunch went to Puerto Viejo for ice cream, and write in front of the Bar Monte Verde was a huge (>50cm TL, very stout) Leptodeira annulata dead at the roadside. It was rotten w/ a very smashed head, apparently killed by a rock. Ground color had a distinct reddish-brown cast. 9 February Spent the morning bird watching, reading, and writing from the balcony outside my room. After lunch went to the arboretum to photograph the Bothrops schlegeli and a pair of Eleutherodactylus salamancae that Doug Jervey cought on the central trail a few days ago. Juve yolched eggs are visible through the ?'s body wall, and the pair were in inverted amplexus when found. On the way Doug caught a ? Anolis capito near the base of the steps
