Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama
27 April 2000 Weather: overcast & still, sun early
in the morning.
Mark radiotracked BOY to her nest, at
last. She was precisely where we've
been finding the signal, but her nest
was about 3m high - the highest
manakin nest site yet. In the afternoon
we put my compass on a stick
& used the mirror to see that
she has one chick, approx 4 days
old. We'll try to bleed/band her
at 12-14 days old so that we
don't have to climb up there
twice!
We did watches at Acacia (2),
Second Landing (2), Bridge (2), CC (1),
Second Beech (1), EDM (1), and Mark
explored the possible perches between
Bee Tree & Second Landing to no
avail. Kat found five nests,
two with eggs, and
I
found one more with one
egg.
I took my time in the
morning copying the map that
Frank gave me yesterday so that
we can plot our points at 1:2000
tendency scale = 5.
