July 22 Walked the vertebrate transect this AM w/ Paula
Skilling (reptile keeper, Dallas Zoo) - in addition to
numerous small herps (see separate data sheet) we
saw several nice tracks of cf. Felis concolor and cf.
small Panthera onca on the SUTA, going toward CC.
Gustavo Vargas saw cat tracks further out the CC.
After lunch I hiked CES -> LOC -> SAT 1200 to see
cat tracks reported by Mike Keller, but found and tracing
of Nausua. On the way out I met Gustavo, who directed
me out Sendero La Chanchera for more tracks; saw
numerous tracks of Nausua and 1 old of Felis pardalis.
On CEN and SOC, the latter where Derin Graham had
reported a cat track, I traced what might be
Canis latrans. Isais Alvarado told me he has heard
cyotes in the Puerto Viejo region recently, and supposed
a guard here saw one this year. Also might be a dog.
July 23 Rained most of the night before dawn. On the 21st
~2030h I caught a Leptodeira septentrionalis
crawling beside the library (545+152mm, 36g)
and palpated from it the hind toes of a juvenile Bufo
marinus; snake thrashed, bit, and cloacal
discharged while handled. Yesterday Derin Graham
brought in a Tantilla melanocephalus (273+90mm,
6.0g, S), caught ~0600h crawling near the River Station.
This afternoon Orlando Vargas walked to the three sites
for Oxychris calcarifer to identify plants. At 550
850m, where Wendy Roberts studied last year, the
