DoVal, E.H. 2001 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 28 April 2001 We netted at Bridge this morning and it was crazy as usual. We closed the nets just after 11:00 & had caught 18 manakins & a lot of interesting bycatch, including a blue-crowned motmot & a pair of red-legged honeycreepers that were so close in the net that they had their claws locked. We only caught one of the 3 TMs who seem to be displaying regularly there (YPB) - I hope we'll get ARA & BOW tomorrow. The afternoon was devoted to watches. We tried to fit in 2 2-hr. watches each to wake up for going to David on Monday instead of Tuesday. I dallied & found the yellow-+black snake down by the beach below our house. The alarm calls of 3t bird species (manakins incl.) gave him away. I took pictures on roll 2 (the first roll of slide film) and hopefully we can work out an ID from those. The peace corps volunteers from all of Chiriqui are at the restaurant for their quarterly meeting. Not the group that I expected them to be! We bought chacaras from Jae ---, who grew up in Indialantic -at least for a few years.
