19 June (continued)
firica just S. of la Selva. Went by way of
Near Loop, Southwest Loop, and West Boundary
trails. Saw guans or curassows. at 0925h
found a large & Pseustes poeciloptus lying
still in the sun across a cow path on the
firica (trees all around on firica, and forest
edge <50m away. Met Manuel Santana at
~1030, had snack and coffee, then walked
~20 minutes S. into forest to see where he
has a 3m long Boa constrictor, telemetered.
Got chased by a bull twice, coming do and from
the forest through the firica - it stopped
each time when we climbed up on highsteps.
Left at 1345h and walked back alone by way of
Sendow Jaguar and the steps on the new
property, stopping for a swim in the Rio
Sarapiguí. On a rock beside the rio found
scattered crustacean parts, including two
apparent hands ~1cm in diameter full of
nothing but such parts - I presume these to be
of Lutra longicaudis. Returned to station
~1530h, where D. Leaver (U. Wisconsin) told me
he and Rafael Campos found an adult
Phleiscerus eating a frog [Eleutherodactylus
minius] at 0945h, lead first. Frog was
alive when regurgitated and at noon
but dead at 15#0h and quite smelly
