Doval, E. H. 2005 Journal Isla Boca Brava, [illegible], Chiriqui, Panama. 15 May Steve, Anne, and I all went to David to buy supplies. We left before 9am to catch the Boca Chica - Horconcitos bus. The bus never returned, but fortunately we were able to get a ride from Elvy Villatobos. This David trip was reasonably priced - No cost for transportation, except water taxi for 3 people to B.C., $3, and $1 back for me. I was able to ride back to B.C. with Elvy in the afternoon, while Anne and Steve stayed in David to start their vacation. Groceries, copies, and lunch totalled ~$45.00. Syl 26 May Today was a busy day for Julian and I. Julian spent the day doing playbacks and recording pairs. I did five watches in total, nest searching (2 hrw) and nest checking. The ? from E-64 was incubating the lone egg, which is good news. All of the quail eggs continue to be present in our pilot nest experiment nests that are in ACA. We plan to start the experiment on Sunday - placing eggs in the nests of 1/2 of all the core sites, then the second half on Monday (5/30). I paid Frank the bill tonight. It was $215.25 which included 1 week x 5 people. Julian paid his share which was $31.00 for food & lodging. Syl
