Azores, H. 1997 June 7 Stotola. Lunch included fried hard boiled eggs, a first for us all. We always have at least one kind of cooked vegetable or greens, e.g., shredded squash cooked w/ small pieces of beef. Usually one or two other meat dishes, small chunks sometimes mixed w/ onions and tomatoes. Usually we fresh fruit - mango, papaya, watermelon. We supplement w/ bread and peanutbutter - always rice, sometimes sticky w/ some other small yellow grain cooked in it. at 1900hr we release Trimeresurus stejnegeri w/ radio ("TS#1") at capture site, among huge boulders in bed of "stream E," above where it crosses the road near the tower stairs and approx 30 m above some sort of new concrete water (?) facility. The snake immediately went under a 3m boulder on the edge of the stream. At 1905hr, just as barely dark in forest Megophrys lateralis start blasting so loud we have to harass nearby males to hear the telemetry receivers! We are at approx 970m dc. We saw big thunderheads to the west at 1800hr and BP has dropped 933-919, but still no rain. By 1945hr TS#1 has moved 3-4 m above big boulders of stream
