19 June by after dinner [Tired tonight! ] Caught (continued) a second adult Pseustes, F, as it crawled off the Sendero Jaguar in deep forest, not too far from the SW boundary of the original La Selva property. Both Pseustes were fierce, inflating and biting.
20 June at 0613 h I grabbed a x1.5 m Clelia clelia as it crawled off the sidewalk behind the bath house. It thrashed and constricted my arm, but didn't bite. After lunch walked West River Road and back w/out seeing anything.
21 June Put transmitter in ~89 cm Lachesis muta, a fairly tranquil snake.
22 June Released Lachesis ~0930 h and watched periodically throughout day and evening. Some light rain in late afternoon, and enormous racket of birds at dusk. ~1845 h watched and photographed a Caluromys derbianus in a pipe plant behind the bath house, hanging w/ tail and eating leaves. Beautiful orange and cream fur.
24 June Lachesis still in place this AM. Checked periodically throughout day, last time ~2130 hs. Some rain in early afternoon. One Hyla eleutheria seen on leaf at night, and several Eleutherodactylus heard calling at night - 1st sign of frog activity, and it's been very dry here. [Forgot to write note]
