While in Yucatan, my students Casey Brown, Faryen Mays, John Guice, and Zach Cuda, Kaxil Kiuic Reserve manager James Callaghan, field biologist Ricardo Pasos, field assistants Evelio Uc and Santos Uc, volunteers Stephen Dennstedt and John Hurd, and I set up trail camera stations to study the local population of jaguars. The hard work under very hot and mucky conditions paid off: among pictures of all wild cats of the Yucatan, we also captured two jaguars, one of which was photographed on the reserve.
You can find accounts of the first field season here: http://dennstedt.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/el-jaguar-and-the-puuc/.
Steve Dennstedt was one of the volunteers on the first trip. He also is a gifted photographer who has taken many great pictures during the field outing. Check out his bird pictures, also on his blog, at http://dennstedt.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/birds-of-kaxil-kiuic/.
