Duval, E.H. 2001 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 29 April 2001 Today we continued netting at Bridge. I heard dancing as soon as we opened the nets at 07:10, & went to investigate. ARA (DM) and BOW (on) were doing cartwheels for an unbanded green ?, and were doing SF-2 with wing-clicks. The female was excited - hopping back & forth rapidly on the display perch. They danced for more than 5 minutes, and at the end of one cartwheel bout ARA gave an "EEK" (finally dominance affirmed!) ARA flew off to the west & as he was "swooping" full-speed back to the dance perch, he hit one of our nets. I took hormone samples within 10 minutes of capture, & they were chilled 18min 30 sec later (Eric ran for the ice). After we caught ARA, activity in the area pretty much ceased. Never caught BOW. We had 0.25 cm of rain in the afternoon. Tourist Gennie Viteri from Panama City ([email protected], 684-7189 cel.) invited us to do tourist things with her when we next go to town.
