Translocating our removed alpha males to Linarte
rather than keeping them in captivity. I
took the GPS unit and mapped my route
from the northern tip of the island to the
other end (nearly - the rising tide cut me
off from the last low beach). Along the
way I recorded the position of singing pairs
I encountered and checked all the birds
that I saw for bands. I found one
nest under construction in a dry streambed
by the main western beach. I only
saw one banded BM-0YO, who was banded
very near to where I saw him in 2000.
He was behaving in a very alpha-like
manner. I think it would be feasible to release
birds from Boca Brava here: if there is interchange,
it is at least rare.
