Continuing to check all three Lachesis several times each day. Having some heavy rains w/ long thunder peals - up to 28 seconds or more. Tonight went out to 600m on the Near Loop Trail w/ Donnelly and Guyer. I found an Agalychnis saltator ≈ 3m above ground on a Welfia palm, and we watched one or more dingos, Bassanyayun galbii high in the canopy.

Very kotos - like, but tail held straight out and fast; squirrel-like running and leaping from branch to branch.
