DuVal, E.H. 2005 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama attacks, remembering my experiences with this nest in past years, but none came. Another Black Hawk (the mate, presumably) circled nearby with two vultures. It rained in the evening at ~7:30pm, though fairly lightly (< 1/2"). The day was generally overcast. 2 April 2005 I'm currently netting, again, for the uubSRE female of nest E-41. I'm half an hour into it, with no sign of her yet, and so I'm thinking of details of the project that I have been avoiding and need to address: 1 Analyze 1-hour vs. 2-hour watches -- - Are measures of activity rate the same in 1- session vs. 2-hr? Run a paired-t test compar the measures of QR * @ rate in the first hour vs. the whole session for 2002 data. Also consider: extinction curve of # distinct individuals seen. Repeat w/ 1/2-hour watches from 2003 + 2004. Hopefully there's no difference... A major justification for 1-hr watches now is the limitation of mini-DV camcorder taps (all are 60 min. long)
