need to figure out which of the 'sun squirrels' this is
yes! so common in Tai you almost forget how spectacular these guys are
couldn't get a good picture of these little flitty canopy birds with red tails
One of the guys helping me catch frogs could do this great trick where we'd turn off our flashlights and he'd make this grunty call and when we turned the lights back on , one of these would be attracted right next to us.
pretty common in trees at night with a standard 'er er er' call
(Thanks to Mark-Oliver Roedel for the ID)
This is the one that got away because they jump like crazy. Lots calling around a puddle after the rain, must have tried 1000 times to catch one.

Found this guy swimming in a tup of water the morning after a night of heavy rain.
(Thanks to Mark-Oliver Roedel for the ID)
Only found one of these and didn't get a chance to match it to its call
(Thanks to Mark-Oliver Roedel for the ID who also says its female)
In the field, though it was another of these: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/73916
but looking at the photos they are quite different, this one is much more robust with different shape and colors

Found this tiny tiny guy on the leaf litter at night

Calling around puddles at night after rain
Found first a male calling from a puddle and later probably that same male mating, I guess catching him the first time around didn't throw off his game...
This is the second 'mamba vert' I ran into, this one was blocking the path back to the station as it was getting dark. I had to use a VERY long stick to push it aside so I could pass, it bit the stick several times!
