1983 11 February found about 0930h at CCC 650m. Fernando (continued) Corrales saw a deer on the Vargas Tract that lacked horns, lacked spots, and had a white tail - he called it a venado (white tail deer) and the description fits Odocoileus. Jaime told me to watch for Canis familiaris in the Felis onca scat from the new property, because someone in that area lost a dog recently. Went around the Camino Experimental w/ Fernando to get a Felis onca scat Orlando showed him at CEN 292 m (we come from CES). Orlando spotted it ~2 weeks ago as a fresh, obvious scat; now it is just packed down in the trail as hair and a couple of claws - obviously of a sloth. At 1100h, 245m on CEN, we caught a strange Morops cf. genus , ~1.8 m up on a small tree. After lunch, went into town by truck w/ Doug Jorey for ice cream, beer, and mail. Walked back. Saw an osprey at the Rio Sarayacu and two Amazon Kingfishers. About 1/2 way down the road between the highway and the La Selva turnoff, saw a Bat Falcon perched in a tree. Downhill from the La Selva turnoff, we watched a Crane Hawk for ~15 minutes. It landed in three different trees and seemed to search for food in each one, hopping and or flying from place to place w/in
