E. Heske 1980 Journal Cordoba to Ojo de Agua Veracruz, Mexico sec. cont. Second line is also along the trail in secondary growth, then moves up the hillside. Along the trail the ground is flat, not much herbaceous cover but dense low canopy due to saplings, vines & brush. Back on the hillside the trees are large, leaf litter on floor, fewer vines, but very rocky - in some areas the hillside is solid rock with large crevices. Line three was set half in dense secondary and half in an area along the river with a canopy of coffee trees ~ 10-15' high (3-5m) and a lush ground cover of ferns and herbaceous plants ~.3m high. The fourth line was set in habitat similar to that just described (latter half or line 3). I am not overly pleased with some of these areas - the more mature-looking forest is too rocky to have many Hetteronyms, though, I imagine. Available area to trap in is thus limited. Duke & David set up two mist nets near the stream by the road to catch bats tonight. Checked the nets shortly after dark (~1930) - caught 1 Rhogeßsia sp. and 1 Myotis nigricans. At ~2000, there were approx. 30 bats in the nets: 4 more Myotis nigricans, the rest Sturnira lilium and Micronycteris (?). The Myotis were kept, as was the Rhogeßsia, but the Phyllostomatids were released. Three more checks of the net, approx. each half hour, yielded about 2-3 dozen more Sturnira & Micronycteris, which were released.
