DuVal, E.H. 2004 9 Apr can't Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui Prov., Panama above the vine tangle where they have displayed in the past. When the two other males began PF-2, APA broke off his display to chase them one at a time from the area. In the middle of this, F WOW showed up, reminding me that we hadn't found her nest this year. I looked toward the dance perch and... there it was! A low nest with two chicks, 1+2 days old. WOW mobbed me as I bled them. As I continued to observe the dance perch area, Christina Mueller's two large dogs came down the path with her houseguests and proceeded to boisterously greet me, halting all manakin action. I chased them from the area when Boxie began investigating the nest area. Later in the afternoon I followed a QR bout uphill from the SPY1 cp and found RYS(OU) singing with (B)W(B) (OU). RYS was unbanded until the last day or so of the 2003 field season, when I whistled him into a net. He was a territory-holder last year & seems to still be one this year. The male flew from QR to displaying for a female, reaffirming their territorial status.
