Silvador. The book (Amphibians & Reptiles of
Middle America, in German) says that a
2m Clelia was found with a 1.8m
Bothrops inside its stomach. Of course, the
book also says that Clelia are non-aggressi...
Beca found two nests today that are
either old or under construction. I'm not
at all sure that they're LIMA nests -
they have an over-abundance of black
rhizomes & seem a bit sloppier than usual,
but that may just be from degradation.
Julie found an antshrike nest along the
LOTES trail that is just 3-5m from
the one found by a tourist last year.
Are antshrikes nest-site faithful?
During my GUL 2 watch, a DM
chased a vireo out of the dp area, though
there was no F present. Vireos seem to
be nest-prospecting right now, & it would
be very inconvenient to have a hyper-territory
vireo couple in the middle of one's display
area....
How common is manakin inter-species
territoriality?
I did a watch at WE3 & there is
definitely an unb DM in regular attendance. We'll
have to get there soon.
