Between observations, we take ad lib notes.

E.g. Ben sees small frog enter viveiro & we wait to see who will find it.

#9 & one infant are very close to it near ground & we keep expecting a kill [or at least for someone to try].

#9 then drops on it as though he knew.

Frog jumps under log & we realize that it was so well-camouflaged that #9 never saw it! We are amazed since the level

of coincidence is extreme with the animal dropping right onto it. It must have felt the frog's movement but assumed it was part of environmental movement [leaves or twigs]

Eg also, we see a buzzard or raptor flying overhead @ 10-15 meters above the  cage - several animals chirp & then all are still & very quiet.

Lunch is sandwiches; I made my own - We also have orange.

Thus data collection procedures:
