    To me it's most fascinating to see how many rodents you found in the forest around Puerto Blest. I wonder…

    Nice report and some good sightings! Are you sure about a couple of the Cat Tien IDs? I don't believe…

    I'll actually be visiting NWC in a few weeks. Any advice or tips you have mammals (especially potential bat roosts)…
