Journal E.H. 2005 Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama March, cont 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.
