EHD and JK left for Boquete for a few days before
JK leaves for the States. Yesterday EHD netted at
BTE and had some unexpected issues with badly?
caught birds or at least previously injured birds
and then stressed by being caught in mistnet.
At almost 7pm last night chicks from J-I nest (? RWY)
were still hungry. ? was caught in net and had
lacerations on face and leg, cause unknown. Today
we confirmed that she did indeed abandon nest.
After feeding chicks at nest all morning, we
then took the larger chick to nest at Wel 4 (E-63)
to see if ? would foster. The other chick we
brought to the cabin. AGA indeed did adopt chick
with no problems. Anne saw RWY(?) in the pm
at DPO and appeared to have a hurt (broken?) leg.

AGA is still taking care of chick in nest (E-63).
Our baby in the cabin is eating/defecating well.
I collected some berries that I have seen adults
eating, at a tree near the crossroads. It rained
in the morning for 1 1/2 hours, and off and on
in the pm. Steve did data entry in the am
and took care of the chick, while Anne took
over this m? afternoon. Temp 74°F - 85°F.
Rain gauge checked and has 6.5cm since last time
checked (a few or more days). JYL
All experimental eggs still present.
