Greene, H. 1991 June 23 (continued) Hurk, and thereafter, a big Ctenosaura descended head-first from ~5-6 m up a tree - and doing it pretty gracefully at that. Albani showed up for our appointed second try for Pelamis at 0900h, says we well go at 1000h. At 0950h I spotted another Gonatodes scuttling along a low wall; it stops, wags tail, & repeats. I crept closer and saw a ? (I think of that species) hidly nearby on the edge of a palm trunk. We left to search for Pelamis soon after 1000h, returning before noon (~1/2 hrs.): Albani, a younger trio w/ him, and a trio in his 20's I'd guess and his father (the last two added w/ no explanation nor contribution to the costs). We went deep into Bahia de Culebra, but again saw no snakes nor snakes. The drive back was slow because of numerous trucks full of cattle - a little weird creeping up a winding road in the wake of a black smoke belching, board enclosed truck, its milling cargo loony just in front of and above your hood! Turned in the car after hours at ~1750h, thanks to the cooperation of a very helpful young man named Alisio. June 24 La Selva Biological Station, Heredia Prov., Costa Rica arrived here: ~1030h, and Wendy's two volunteer assistants from the States (Charles Bauch and Heidi Robeck) tell us that it has scarcely rained since she left. Spent the day unpacking and otherwise settling in. OTS course arrived.
