3 March 2000 Observations of birds present on three
transects of the North Island. (North,
South trails, & "Main Street"
We walked up the North trail
first, stopping to watch activity
at Bee Tree. A surprising #
of birds observed were banded.
At Bee Tree I observed (DR) YO/Rd,
RY/Ral (on), & BY/Bal (rc). The
males are definitely displaying!
I took the South Trail & saw
YR/Pal (RC), who led a chorus
of manatins who alarm-called at
me from a display site near
the second beach.
I Saw a nightjar and two
Little hermit hummingbirds in my
wanderings...
I attempted a list of vocalizations
that we could make into a code
for use in observations. I tried
having us record 3-min bouts of
behavior but even I couldn't do it.
