Greene, H.
1990
June 30 site of earlier evenings, crawling slowly and tongue-
(continued) flicking. We saw brilliant yellow-green eyeshine of two
inguas (Bassariscus astutus) in a palm tree, which
because of a misperception of how far away the tree was I
thought might be a puma. Que Jonto, no?
July 1 With Wendy Roberts, walked out SOR and SSE to x/1000m,
then over to SHO and out the CCH for lunch on the
bridge. Saw only Steles twice, 2 each time.
July 2 Drove to San Jose with Patricia Foyden after breakfast,
to work on getting my collecting permit and do some
shopping. Alejandro Solozano gave me a photograph
of an adult Micrurus nigrocinctus that ingested
an eel (swallowed head-first), cf. Synbranchus.
July 3 Caught the 0900 hr bus back to La Selva from San
Jose. Pretty good rain this afternoon, but only very
light drizzle at night. I went through the
Cantarana Swamp at ~2115hr and 2330hr and
saw no frogs, but because of the moonlight
I could walk the boardwalks with no light.
Michael Foyden walked on the CES in forest
(thus darker) and got 2 Imanthodes inconspicua
and one L. cerroa. We saw the latter suspended
only by a few cm's of its tail vertically in space,
sweeping over leaves and tongue-flicking.
July 4 From ~0800-1000 hrs, Wendy and I walked out
SOR, CCC, to SSE 900m to check a former
nest sight of Azelychmis celestis on a
