June 14 says he saw some in the forest at the (continued) T.S. #1 site - especially striking in looking out over the forest here and recalling frequent views of Gorillas in Uganda and howlows and toucans in Costa Rica.
More frogs here in high snake species density; most forest in the immediate vicinity of Tank Dar is second growth or at least has long since been selectively logged. See few trees w/ dbh > 20 cm, let alone really big trees, and lots of bamboo, hard to walk through understory. And often hear the roar of motorcycles even at dawn and late at night. But lots of moths, beetles, and astounding cicada choruses. After dark Dare Hardy and I walk from town past cisterns and on to upper loop road in gentle rain shot becomes cold and windy. Lots of frogs on road and vegetation. We go to check our telemetered green pitvipers, and I spot an adult Trimeresurus stejnegeri vertical stretched on a sapling x3-5 cm diameter, w/ head down in S-coil and 30cm above ground x2m off concrete walkway at 30-40m from T.S#1.
