2.2 Km E (by rd) Trinidad, San José Prov., Costa Rica 2600m
16 July, cont too see where traps are being placed in the forest,
so stopped ~1800. There are several patches of
mature forest here- separated by small clear cuts.
It looks about as patchy as a Doug fir forest in
N. Calif. (mixture of forest/cuts). We camped at a
roadside pull out 12.2 km. further east along Hwy 2.
(saw a roadkill [unreadable] here.)
2.2 Km E (by rd) Trinidad, San José Prov., Costa Rica 2600m!
17 July
Arose ~6:30. Clear, but everything is damp from the
foggy night. Drove back to trap site + checked traps:
upper line of 15: 2 Peromyscus nudipes
1 Reithrodonontmys sp. (small = mesalotis size)
mexicanus?
lower line down: 1 Oryzomys sp (small, dark)
along hill 1 Peromyscus nudipes
1 Reithrodonontmys cooper (?)
1 Mustela frenata (see catalogue)
We are unsure at present of some of the sp. of
Reithrodonontmys + Oryzomys. There are 3 diff.
Reithros and 2 diff Oryzomys (maybe 3). See
catalogue of D.S. Rogers for final decisions. All
animals captured will be catalogued there.
Duke set 90 traps, caught: 2 Scotinomys teguina
7 Reithrodonontmys (3 sp.)
6 Peromyscus nudipes
1 Heteromys oresterus
Phil set 80 traps, caught: 2 Oryzomys (1 small, 1 large)
1 Reithrodonontmys (small)
2 Peromyscus nudipes
