Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 18 May Rain all day. 29 mm We slept in and did paperwork until lunchtime, summarizing our nest data on "spreadsheets," plotting nests onto the island maps, and beginning to summarize the behavioral state of affairs at Bridge (Mark). I read through the buildup of behavioral observations and filed them in the appropriate places. Mark went nest-searching and then we all attempted to do the vegetation estimates at nest M-1. We only managed 3 of 9 required 2m2 plots before calling it a day -- vegetation work is phenomenally frustrating! I stayed out K-23 for 40 min & saw WA again, but the light was too poor to read her third band. One baby disappeared yesterday, but the younger one is still in the nest. He still has a visible sore among the pin of one wing from insect bites. I think Frank is getting tired of my frugality. I think I'm getting tired of sniping comments about my stinginess as an employee.
