Eira Ja Selva, Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Provincia
Heredia, Costa Rica
Arrived here ~0800 hours. Left Berkeley 0600 on
the 15th, spent that night in Miami and had
0600 flight to San Jose the next morning. Beautiful
sunrise over the Caribbean, then spectacular
view out window into smoking Volcano Poas. Spent
day shopping in San Jose, then caught an OTS
supply run at 0345 to here! Settled in. After
lunch Milton Lieberman took me to ~450m
sun
on Carrizos Experimental, then ~150m to the right
into the forest. Yesterday he found a large freshly
killed armadillo w/ head and viscera eaten and
flies loudly on it. We looked around the site
he remembered, w/out finding it. Then I walked
~10m away and found the carapace and tail
of a large Dasypus which he said was it.
Took photos.

After lunch went w/ George Schatz (U. Wisconsin)
and Helen Young (Stanford) to 1435m on the
Central Trail to collect a field scat he found
fresh yesterday. On the way, 1350m and 1445h
we found a pretty frog sitting in litter beside
the trail that Gary Guyer later identified as
Eleutherodactylus noblei. Also saw an E.
vipercatus juvenile active in the litter.
