DoVal, E.H. 2000 15 March 2000 Journal 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.
