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.
