Duval, E.H. 2002 Journal Panama City, Republic of Panama 26 February 2002 This is the start of the 2002 field season - perhaps my last on Isla Boca Brava. The field crew this year is: Ryan Q. Lorenz from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, who is a distant relative of Konrad Lorenz. A good omen for any behavioral study! He has experience with arctic geese. Rebecca Carter from Connecticut, currently based out of California. She has extensive experience with David Winkler at Cornell University & has been working most recently in museum exhibit design. Julia Young-Lorion from Oregon, a graduate of the wildlife program at OSU. She has experience with captive-reared macaws in Costa Rica and has been most recently working as a veterinary technician. We arrived in Panama in the evening, and waited several hours for Becca's flight to arrive. We stayed at the Hotel Marpariso, as usual, on the corner of Calle 34 E & Avenida Justo Arosemena. Yadira told me that our rancho fell down when I called from the airport. We'll have to see how things are when we arrive!
