DuVal, E.H. 2004 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 1 April 2004 continued hole that looked much too small for two nearly-grown vultures. I located the sibling hiding among some vines by SPY dance perch, and I left him alone to work his way home. While I was at BTR I heard a vulture fly into the SPY area - maybe Mom coming back? This was the first time I've seen a vulture nest. The BTR watch continued the excitement, with two copulations by YVR (DM), both with unbG F's (the same one?). In at least one copulation, BWG (DM) acted as beta - wasn't he the former ? at CCL5??? It definitely warrants a little more observation. GVA (DM) showed up to QR when the watch was over, and he was also present at my next watch (GUL2). GVH was considerably quieter, and GVA was not present for most of it. I had spent so long writing about the displays for females at BTR that I didn't have time to do a watch at EDM. Julie and I took turns entering data & working with the database - me from 11-12:30 + Julie for 2 hours in the afternoon. There's still much to do, but it's not hopeless.
