Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama 2005 later in the day - he was full and sleeping. Julian and I placed quail eggs in nests of half of the sites picked. The eggs were bought more than a week ago and were obviously moldy, & smelly. With all the distractions of the chick tragedy, I forgot to wash the eggs beforehand and realized that when in mangrove. I washed the remainder of my eggs (enough for 2 more sites) in the water near the BRI gully. I hope this doesn't bring in the wrong & kind of predator to the nest, i.e. ants. We plan to wash and distribute the rest of the eeggs tomorrow. Temp low - 76°F +ow high 86°F, Water gauge had 1.5cm of water since last time it was checked. JYL 29 May cont. 30 May 05 After talking to EHD last night on the phone, we decided that the experimental nest project should be postponed until we buy new, fresh eggs. Julian and I took out all the eggs we placed yesterday. We go to David in 1 week and will look for eggs then. Temp. today was low 76°F - high 88°F, no prescipation in the rain gauge although it briefly rained last night. Anne and Steve returned this evening.
