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.
