DuVal, E. H. 2000 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama OBSERVATION OF A DM AT A NEST: Kat was staking out nest K-15, which is in a short shrubby tree. She observed a definitive male approach the nest deliberately, hopping from branch to branch as females do when they approach a nest. He landed on the edge of the nest for a moment + looked at the chicks (2) who were begging to him. After a few seconds, he flew away. He didn't feed or anything of that sort but... interesting. This nest is in the second landing area. Kat did not get the male's band combo. Kat ran telemetry this morning - BOY was on her nest + ABI apparently was moving around to displaying males. In the afternoon, BOY was at CC (+ I got no signal at all from first beach. I think the rough terrain is just frequently too steep for these transmitters to be picked up).
