I noted a Panama Flycatcher in the
understory, but saw no nests, manakin or
otherwise, on our brief time there.
at ~5:00pm.
It seemed like it might rain^, but did
not. We did paperwork in the evening and
Julie gave me a plant sample from nest 1-
to sketch - it's not one of the typical 3 species,
but looks very similar to the plant we've nicknamed
"species 3" for years (because I keep forgetting to
look up the scientific name in Berkeley). Leaves are
alternate with short petioles, rippling along the edge, and
have a smooth, darkish green surface. The new
plant also has ridges along the leaf edges (very fine)
where "species 3" plants have a smooth edge.
Where "species 3" leaves smell like fresh-cut grass when
crushed, this new species had a tangy smell that was
somewhat stronger.
See back of this sheet for sketch.
