Greene, H. 1989 April 3 La Selva Biological Station, Prov. Heredia, Costa Rica Arrived here ~1400 hr, ~3 hr late because a logging truck had turned over just past El Salto falls, such that we returned to Heredia and came through Parque Nacional Braulio Carillo. I arrived in country on the 29th of March having left Oakland at ~1000hr. Had a bumpy flight in the US, but a nice one from Miami - the pilot was Jose Pablo Gonzales, uncle of Carmen Rojas. Had dinner w/ Carmen Thursday and Friday night. Went to the Instituto Odonomzo Picado on the 31st, to have lunch with Alejandro Solorzano and Jose Maria Gutierrez. Saw a chocolate-colored Bothrops schlegeli, attended the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Organization for Tropical Studies on the 1st and 2nd. D.E. Gill (U. Maryland) told me that on ~7 March 1989 he and E.D. Brodie III found a small Pseustes poecilotes heron on the ground at ~CES 650m, trying to eat a restless Dusky Antbird (Cercomacra lyrannina , "feathers in pin", 9.2g). Adult birds were screaming at the snake, and later they found it had abandoned the bird affair took place under an Asterogyre. I had come down w/ a sinus infection the 1st, such that by the time I arrived here I was miserable. La Selva is extremely dry - the Ecological Reserve
