Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama'
8 May 2000 Weather: rain at night - just a little.
Partly cloudy in the afternoon/morning.
3 observations each today, and the
telemetry equipment magically
began working in the afternoon.
I tracked BOY & ABV but still
Got no signal from ABV. Her
transmitter has (should have) more
battery power than BOY's ...
Kat found a nest near first beach
with two chicks (I knew there had
to be more chicks somewhere!). I
found two nests under construction: one
near 2nd Beach (3) and one in between
2nd Beach (2) and Main Street. The
latter was revealed to me when I
noticed a female landing near R-4
(a recently failed nest) while I was
doing a watch at CC (1).
when I saw her a 2nd time
I went
closer and watched her circle the nest,
land on it and peer in, then grab fiber
from the nest and hover upwards
pulling it. She blew off across the
bamboo path, & I stationed
myself farther and farther along her route
until
I found her nest. ;
