DoVal, E.H. 2001 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama get heronines from him in the same week that I got a sample from YVR... Maybe tomorrow. Whimbrel on the beach as I walked back. 21 March ca[illegible]. 22 March 2001 We did the usual 3 watches each today, and things were surprisingly slow. Katie had a good watch at Bridge, but otherwise... I found (E-3) a nest at second landing that already has two eggs in it - same TREE as one of the nests last year. I think WBB (G) nested in the area last year, & during my watch WB- (G) was hanging around looking nervous. I nest-searched my way from WEL3 to SBE1 and came within a few feet of stepping on a quite large Boa constrictor. She started, I started, I backed up, & she advanced, so I turned & retreated quickly. A semi-chase! She never moved more than a few feet, but it certainly surprised me. 23 March 2001 Two tourists came out on my first watch today - Jamie & his father-in-law
