Field Notes

Task: Recensusing Saplings (counting leaves, taking missing hemi photos, measuring diameter and taking new pictures)
Location: Rio Limbo (P06)
Assistants: Fredy
Weather: It rain for a bit around 11:30.. but mostly very hot and sunny (more rain at 3:30 after we finished).
BCI Truck Status: Even though I'm the first one to drive the truck after it was under repair for 6 months, they still managed to leave me with only 1/4 tank of gas. Should probably get gas tomorrow after I use it.
Paint Color: Blue

We finished recensusing all the individuals previously measured in Rio Limbo. The trees were reasonably easy to find from the map. I made initial measurements of one extra individual of GUAFUS (17) -- remember to put this GPS point in the dataset

Most of the Faramea luteovirens individuals have recently flushed their leaves. About 2/3 of the Guarea individuals seemed on the verge of leaf flush (many buds and emerging leaves).

I was unable to get the hemisperical photos for FARLUT 12-15 and GUAFUS 17 because there was some condensation inside the lens today. I need to remember to store the lens in the dry room tonight.
