9 March Road and to Holdridge Trail 400, where a tree fell %11:00 today. I found a Bolitoglossa (see 11 March) colonnea under a palm death 1m x 30cm on the ground. Craig Guyer found a loripatus in a brondliad on the fall tree, and therefore until today it must have been many meters up. (Last night talked to David Clarke about the 3 Lachesis muta that he's seen here. He was very impressed by their cryptic appearance, especially the way the irregular white dorsal spots look like sunlight splotches on the forest floor.). From 20:30-22:30 walked the New Research Trail w/ Mo Donnelly and Craig Guyer - found a rare frog, Eleutherodactylus altae, sitting on a "Parana Hat Plant", <1m above ground. Brilliant orange flash marks. Also brought back a small adult leptodactylus pentadactylus (missed a larger ♂) for telemetry. (see next page).
10 March Walked trail to arboretum and part of New Research Trail from 07:00-08:30. Saw a few ardes and small frogs, no snakes. Rained hard for a short time before dawn today, so everything was dripping. Saw either a broadtitled (Election) or Rufous (Baryptheres) motnot land on a branch w/ a caterpillar in its bill, still holding to a leaf
