June 18 We continued netting in the CCL1 area,
and still had no luck catching DMs.
I got some response with playbacks of
PF-1 vocalizations (local & flew in) and
female downwhistles (lots of down-whistling
birds flew in), but the birds that responded
flew high and avoided the nets. The
CB's that we're catching now are well
into the yearly molt, with ~ 1/2 of
primaries replaced. We opened nets for
[illegible] an hour in the afternoon after doing some
watchs, and caught 4 birds in short
order. This was the most successful netting
day we've had in a while. The weather
has been classically "rain season" - sunny
during the day and raining for most of
the night. Steve stayed home to enter data
& babysit the J-1 chick ("Jesa"), who is
growing well. She's preening actively &
stretching often. Steve is still sick,
but better than yesterday.
June 19 Today was the last netting day
78-85°F for a while at CCL1/LHC. We only
netted for the morning, and had little
luck. In the afternoon, we all did watches.
