Checklist Comments

By foot on the Sinai Trail loop. The second observer was Job Gámez, a young (23 year old) Forestry engineer from Siguatepeque, who did not know birds but was very good at spotting them and hearing them. This trails makes many cutbacks and the real distance covered is considerably less than the 5.5 measured distance. The farthest point on the loop from the lodge is probably only 2 km or even less. Elevations are about 800 to 1100 meters, in moderately disturbed tropical humid forest. The slopes are very steep and there have been many landslides over the years, so much of the forest appears to be in early to mid succession. This locality is actually completely in the park's buffer zone. Other wildlife observed included approx. 6 or 8 Nasua narica, one Dasypus novemcinctus, a squirrel of the deppei type (at about 1100 meters asl), Sciurus variegatoides lower down, and a cool looking Bufo (photos to be posted in Facebook album).
