Heene, H. 1987 24 June Golfito, Prov. Puntarenas, Costa Rica (continued) arrived here ~1530h, at the field station "Las Alamedas," run jointly for the U.C.R. and the U.of Kansas. It consists of the grounds of a former United Fruit Co. operation, right in the Golfo Dulce, and an adjacent forest preserve that apparently is intended primarily as watershed protection. Before dinner, Gene Shupe, Bruce Williamson and I took a ride to the top of a ridge above town to see lay of the land. We walked around some kind of relay tower, el. 505m -- great view of steep forested hillsides, the gulf, and in the distance the Osa Peninsula. 25 June Pia Baby and I lead to orientation walks for 2 hrs each in an area of second growth and forest edge, NW (?) of town a field km. Drove through cattle pasture, then walked on a mowed track, then walked two trails. Saw only Anolis early in the morning, but later several juvenile and adult Ameiva festiva. Photographed a pretty Eleutherodactylus (cf. regulus?) sitting on the end of a mossy stick, cuddled as if conserving water, under a shrub at trail edge in second growth and a few meters from a stream. Got a pentadactylus-like Leptodactylus hiding under large dry leaves nearby. At 0937h I snatched a Tantilla melanophora (256+84mm), 3.9g.
