Duval, E.H. 2003 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 5 May 2003 The day started slightly overcast and the morning were quite active. During a watch at TCJ5 (which abuts TCJ2, a removal site), I recorded males YGR and YPB (DMs) spending a fair amount of time at TCJ2, with some duet singing and even a dance in the presence of female R-(G). The female was not on the dance perch, but was clearly interested and sat on a branch about a foot above the perch, watching. This dance was on the standard TCJ2 perch which we monitored earlier with the video camera. During this time, AWA (DM), former B at TCJ2, was duetting with the alpha BAA (DM) at SBE2, where Julie was doing a watch. AWA seems to be giving up any claim on the a position at TCJ2 in order to be p at SBE2. Maybe he just didn't have or couldn't find a beta for TCJ2? BWG was seen again at CCL5 (the last of removal site) and seems to be slowly taking over that area. I found a nest with eggs right by the rocks in the middle of the first beach, and when I flushed the female (with difficulty) it turned out to be SOB, a chick from 2001 from a nest out in the MAN area. If the eggs don't hatch by 5/13, I'll collect one.
