DuVal, E.H. 2005 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama [2 Apr [can't read]] (2) Check in with Anne & Steve regarding the video procedures: standardize distance to display perch, list areas where we aren't setting cameras because the dp is unknown (or for other reasons?). I really like the cameras, because I'm frequently out of sight of display perches, and the camera lets me be sure of details like whether the female was on the dance perch, but so far it's also a lot of work for little payoff. This week we added "camera blinds" (mini- drapes of brown or brownish-green cloth over the shiny cameras) to try to minimize disturbance from the cameras. I suspect that most of the lack of displays for females is because most of the nests we've found now have eggs or chicks. The females are busy. (3) Delegate nest duties - I'm just plain administering too many nests. To avoid forgetting any, I need [illegible] to divide some among Anne & Steve. I also need to make clear the procedures regarding bleeding/banding chicks, and updating nest info on a nightly basis. Dividers will help in this process.
