Journal Hafner, M.S. 1978 7km. N, 3km. E Cartago, Prov. Cartago, Costa Rica. 6 July (cont) on the moderately sloped banks facing to the south and east. Most of the fresh activity is either in the short (< .3m) grasses or low cane fields. We stayed around this locality until about 1630. The fog was settling-in and the wind (which was blowing all day) was getting rather chilly. We drove back toward Cartago and set out 55 sherman traps (48 small, 7 large) along a creek side in hopes of catching heteromyps. The vegetation was mostly native ... lots of bromeliads covering the trees. - dense vines everywhere. We drove into town, bought a few more supplies (+ beer) and drove back to the creek locality. We slept here for the night - Much disturbance from people parking nearby, horns honking etc... Cool, overcast night. 7 July 7km. N, 3km. E Cartago, Prov. Cartago, Costa Rica. 0600 awoke and checked traps at the creek locality: 2 km. NE Cartago, Prov. Cartago, Costa Rica. Captures: 2 Scotinomys 4 Oryctomyp 6 Peromyscus (2 species) Success: 12/55 (1 trap taken)
