tree, staring out w/ their enormous plumed tail
hanging down like a plume. Jan says they are
the shiest forest monkey. We walked on and on, usually
w/ forest on the right and farms on the left, expecty
to come to a boundary where all was forest. At 12:15h
Bob and I stopped to unsuccessfully chase an
Adolfus basking on a fallen tree (f ~ 2:5am),
then started back down. At 12:34h I spotted a
juvenile Agama atricollis on a large tree trunk on
the farm side of the road, and as we circled for
a rubber band shot spotted a big colorful (?) on the
same tree. Suddenly a small gray raptor soared in
from up road, flew between us and the tree
chased the lizard around the trunk once and flew off
w/out it! Made it back to camp at 13:40h, having
walked ~ 5 miles - hot! Lunch and a bath cup
by cup. Finally some breeze and drizzle ~ 16:30h.
After dinner, ~20:30-21:35h, we walked the road above camp, includy
an area of a small creek w/ sedges - no frogs callin', no
herps seen. Tried to tease the Ugandans by walking down the
hill into camp w/our flashlights held in clampsticks overhead,
but no reaction.

Woke up at 03:30h thinking about people, places, etc. Got
up at 07:00h because we will have a long day. Finally (after
3 hrs) getting used to shittin' while squatting - this morning
I actually lingered in contemplation of some little reddish
thrush-like thing in adjacent shrubbery. Bob and Jan
