Duval, E.H. 2003 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama 11 April head. I focused the video camera on the tree and snake and left it recording as I went to lunch at 12:30pm. At 1:08 pm, the Laughing Falcon was recorded returning to the coral snake, grasping it with both feet, and flying off to the southwest. The rest of the day was largely comprised of nest work. I staked E-21 and observed ARV(G) feeding the one ready-to-fledge chick. I bled and banded the new chicks that Julie found yesterday - I'm assuming that's J-15? ? PRW(G) mobbed me as I did so, confirming the bands Julie saw yesterday. The E- nest by BTR3 dance perch has hatched and has two 3-d. old chicks (no pin, dry fuzz on head + back, almost 1" long), but when I staked it the female sat on the nest with her back to me and left when I tried to change position. My nest at S&52 hatched and has one chick ~2d. old. The air bubble in the remaining egg moves freely v the egg is dark - probably not going to hatch. OPA (G) mobbed me, fluttering ~6" off the ground and "falling" in a flailing distraction flight from higher perches as I bled her chick. Only chicks' mothers ever go to quite such lengths in mobbing, v as I had suspected OPA anyway I feel confident in saying she's the mother.
