E.H. 2002 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama 25 May 2002 It rained in the afternoon, cutting our third watch short. Becca and Chris came back to the island. Ryan saw a "silvador" snake at Bridge (Clelia clelia?) that carefully investigated his backpack and nullified a good 40 minutes of his watch. I banded the E-26 chicks (?=wow), one of which got band #500 - we've come a long way! 3 1/2" rain 26 May 2002 It started raining during the first watch of the day, twenty minutes in, and we all trooped home to do data entry. We set up shop in the hammock holder with two people entering vocalizations on the computer, one organizing nest sheets, one counting seeds for the seed experiment, and me catching up on these field notes - there are some huge holes in this account of the field season. General observations for the year: the rainy season was surprisingly late; we've seen many solo displays for females (as in not preceded by 2-male dances/displays; we've seen more copulations than in any previous year (at least partially due to the larger number of observers); + we've found nests of two (?) females who we saw copulate (AYR was one).
