Greene, H. 1971 July 10 Walked the vertebrate monitoring transect this AM. July 11 Another Agalychnis saltator spectacle this AM - Wendy has detailed notes. At approx 10:15h I saw a yellow-rumped warbler eating eggs of saltator just north of the Cantarana boardwalk, on moss covered vines approx 1m above water. The bird was perched on the reticulate vine for approx 15-20 secs., delivered 1-3 pecks very rapidly, then swallowed (head jerked, bill movement while broke from vine; there were at least 5 "swallowing" events during the bout). At 10:38h I saw a juvenile (carapace approx 75 mm) Kinosternon leucostomum basking on a branch in sun among emergent "grass" near the east end of the Cantarana Swamp - its yellow head stripes were obvious, although I first noticed the glint on its shell. At approx 14:00h there was a total solar eclipse. People had flocked from all over to Guanacaste where viewing was to have been good and was in fact obscured by clouds. We've had heavy rains here for the past few days, but our experience was great! Ronald Suarez had a TV on the covered porch so people there could see in on the screen and in the sky! Wendy and I and a group of OTS students w/ John Vandermeer were in the swamp. Frog calling (Gastrotheca pictiventris, Smilisca baudinii, Hyala eleochoera) seemed to surge at peak
