DuVal, E.H. 2003 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 10 May 2003 p.5 Another interesting note from today is that Julie found a female sitting on her failed nest by the first beach road. The nest had two eggs some time ago, but the eggs disappeared and we expected nothing else to happen. It's not yet known whether the female has laid an egg, and we have no way of knowing whether it was the same female active at that nest both times. This is the first time we have observed a female apparently re-using a nest, though in 2001 one of Eric's SBE1 nests had a female who kept "incubating" with no eggs in the nest - for two weeks.
