who was ready to lay an egg in the next 24 hours: so the breeding season is not completely over! The third was a recaptured DM who was caught in the area when I target-netted E-13, but as of yet we haven't seen him display. Mark did an uneventful watch at BeeTree before meeting us with the ice, and we all did one watch after lunch. Well (2) was quite active, and I saw yet another bout of solo "baby dancing" as a vulp juvenile leaped about and gave warbly "eeek" calls from a high perch.
I paid Frank this morning so that he could pay Amelia - she'll be in David for the rest of our time on the island. We had planned to take her and her daughter out to a movie during our one night in David, but Frank pointed out that she'll be returning with him that night.
The sea slug biologists found a specimen on the shores of IBB that they haven't found in other parts of Panama (this is as far as they've come along the Pacific coast). Their presence prompted Frank to say that there are even worse jobs than watching little birds. :)
