Greene, H. 1991 July 15 (continued) approx 1/3 of its length and the rest in approx 5 shallow alternating loops -- was it waiting for a frog? At 2132 hr a Ninia maculata crossed the path to the River Station -- flattened and writhed when seized. July 16 Slept all AM - feeling lazy and bored. From approx 1330-1600 hr Ardell and I walked the vertebrate transect and check the two Agalychnis calcarifer sites on CCL. At 2124 hr I found an Dendrobates inscriptus, same size and on same branch as last night, except now approx 30cm (approx 1/3 TL) is extended down the sapling's trunk; head is tilted out at slight angle. At 2133 hr I found a Leptodeira septentrionalis approx 1.5m above water at the swamp edge, east end of the Cantarara at approx 3m S. of the boardwalk, crawling along a horizontal limb approx 3cm/second. At 2141 hr the Dendrobates is going down off (into the center) of a palm frond adjacent to the sapling - same palm as one was sketched over in December - and thus has moved approx 2m since last sight. July 17 This AM I walked the vertebrate transect w/ Wendy. July 18 This afternoon I walked CCC -> 550 to 950m and back to CCC -> CCL -> SOR to the River Station, checking and photographing the old (last year's) Agalychnis calcarifer breeding site - now filled w/ leaves and detritus and unused, although a little water has pooled at one edge. Yesterday AM Ardell went for a long walk, came back, sat down on a bench exhausted, and caught a
