Saw 4 sleeping Anolis limifrons - one on old branch on ground, other 3 x 0.5-1.5 m up - 2 on big leaves, one on vertical tendril of small leaves; all in leaves faced up the leaf (opposite of chameleons?).

I take it that the various Agalychnis we've seen have been foraging, as I've yet to see one in the swamp or any egg masses. [See also December 13, below.]

Rained all night but clearing to a big blue sky before 0800hr. Saw 3 Tayassu eating fallen bananas in the lab clearing as I went to breakfast - they look closer in size to an agouti than the javelinios I'm used to in Arizona. From 0815-1045m walked w/ Bleke and Melissa via CES, LOC, SSO, CCC, and SOR. Saw first Ameiva of the trip, and 5 Tayassu on CCC. By noon it is raining hard. Forgot to mention on December 11 at x300m CES at night I saw a rodent (cf. Heteromys ? based on size etc.) run under a
