Journal
Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama
Ryan and I put Micenia fruit, Euphorbiaceae
fruit, and some branches with edible-looking
red berries in the cage, and left him alone.
He was very active all day long, searching
for a way out of the cage.
We re-opened the nets after getting
AYA settled, hoping that we might catch
WBY (DM) for a blood sample before his
current beta status changes. We didn't
catch WBY, but we did have several other
interesting captures:
1) GOR, a ♀, had an infected right leg. The red
band was immobilized by the swelling, so we
removed it and left her GOX. The aluminum
band didn't seem to be causing any problems, so
we left it.
2) NOP, a chick from 2000, is a full CB
3) AAVP (DM), who is easily confused with VIP and
AVP, both DMs. One or two of these males are
betas at SBE2 & WEL3. I changed his bands
to a more recognizable AYS.
Becca found a dead iguana in MAN, so fresh that it
was still bleeding from the mouth. It appeared to
have fallen from a tree. We dissected it in the evening.
Stomach contents: leaves.
Julie came home from her vacation.
There seem to be more hummingbirds in the area now.
