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.
