Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama' 12 April 2002 Today was significant because we took blood from the E-2 chicks (48 & 24 hours old), whose mother is RRR (5CT2). It was also the first day with any reasonable amount of rain - a few inches fell at night as we sat around playing Scrabble with Radica. Becca & I did 3 watches each, while Julie & Ryan did 2 watches & entered the vocalizations on their week of data sheets in the evening. The summary system streamlines it so that this much is possible, at least. I'll have to back & enter displays myself. Temp: 77-90°F - the lowest high temperature we've had all season, I think! Nest E-5 failed & Julie collected a fair-sized little pile of seeds from beneath it. I hiked to the gully past Claus & Mechtild's house & found two new nests, with one egg each. I would like to talk to them & see if they're still interested in helping out on the project - monitoring these nests would save some hiking time for us. E-12 is in precisely the same place as last year's E-AT, sharing up the theory that females re-use nest sites, or at least stick to the same area. I took GPS coordinates for georeferencing.
