Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama
March 2000 We continued netting at the bridge site,
and closed the nets after catching AI #103
AI #95 hit the first net when it was
in the late morning sun, and was dead
by the time we found him. We caught
17 birds in all.
DM III = 8 new
RC I = 1 new
Gorsl.T II = 7 new
BF I = 1 recapture
I taught Mark & Kat how to prepare
hormone samples, and then skinned #95.
He's got an unfortunate tear in the
skin of his neck (& back), and when I
went to seal his mouth shut with a
drop of superglue the cheap Ashby
Fleamarket stuff spilled all down the
feathers of his cheek. I tried ethanol
to remove it, and only succeeded in making
it white. I collected tissue in ETOH
and froze it, including syrinx and his
LARE testes. Definitely a breeding male...
A Caluromys possum has electrocuted
itself on the power line just above the
hostel: its teeth are locked around one
wire & its tail wound around another.
