Greene, H. 1987 26 June (continued) Saw only Anolis and Oreira on the trails, and several juvenile Bufo haematitis around the big lower waterfall. Afternoon and evening devoted to indoor exercises and lectures. 27 June Lia and I lead a field problem or observational study of behavior in the general region of the waterfall. We watched a Rhynchlastus swainsoni casually and did focal animal and instantaneous sampling on Anartia fatilia butterflies in an open stretch along the main stream, and on 7 juvenile Basiliscus basiliscus at the waterfall. Again saw Anolis and Oreira on the trails, and Bufo haematitis on wet rocks among moss, at the waterfall. Indoor activities in the afternoon & evening. 28 June A repeat of yesterday's field problem, w/a different group. Nice long shower in the afternoon. Indoor events afternoon and evening. 29 June Students are doing group projects w/out us. One of our drivers brought me a Steirophina legerhardtii found on the road at the NW edge of Golfito, still alive but w/ a broken neck at ~0800 h. (77g, 510+122 mm, photographed). 30 June Left Golfito at ~0830 h, arrived in San Jose in a driving rain ~1430h, w/ only a stop for diesel fuel. Just me and the driver, Maurel Fonseca, who told me there's lots of communism around Golfito and that our President Reagan doesn't like the poor.
