DoVal, E.H. 2006 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 20 June 2010 Clear AM, overcast PM; no rain until night 6mm Today we netted on Isla Linarke, the closest island to Boca Brava. There was very, very little manakin action, though we saw many long-tailed (all unbanded) I heard one (relatively short) QR bout all day. Mark found a nest with 7-11 day-old chicks. We banded these (Bal x Gal) and target-netted their mother. The other nets caught only 3 manakins (all DM). One DM had a very scaly breast (almost brood- patch-like), and all had body feathers in pin. I wish we knew whether the TBB manakins were as quiet today... We didn't take the time to do much exploring unfortunately. Next year, it would be best to go there earlier in the breeding season, I suppose. -We also caught a white-tipped dove and green kingfisher. There's a vulture roost over the main path. We banded 3 additional old manakin isolated palms restaurante path sully nets tourist beach
