25 Apr cont dance perch. The second male (AAP? AYP)
left, and AYY continued to do the solo
slow flight, with the faint wing rattle
that I first observed at the well site.
The female jumped rapidly back and forth
on the dp, & sometimes followed the
male as he flew past the dp. AYP
frequently broke off his slow flight to
chase an unb RC that kept approaching the
perch. AYP mated w/ the unb G, who
stayed on the dp & raised her tail, held
forward. This lasted a few seconds, &
then AYP broke it off to chase the RC.
? remained on dp & didn't preen
as usual after copulation. AYY resumed
slow flight, but eventually the ?
left. She may have returned later,
as I saw AYY & bDM displaying
(SF-2) for an unbG 10 minutes later.
Today was the first real
day of the rainy season. Rain cut
short my radiotelemetry at first
beach - BOY is still in
approximately the same place. I made
a rain gauge from an empty
capillary tube case, & collected 2mm
of rain from 18:30 - 21:00.
