A female Rusty-collared Seedeater was seen and we picked up our first Chaco Chachalacas sat under a tree. A Toco Toucan flew across and every bit of water seemed to have either a Wattled Jacana or a Black-capped Donacobius or both. Rufescent Tiger-herons were seen and our first male Scarlet-headed Blackbird was a stunner. Capped Heron. Photo by Steve Bird. More

recorded four nests of Rusty-collared Seedeaters during incubation (8 hrs), four nests with chicks 2-4 days of age (8 hrs), and six nests with chicks 7-9 days of age (20 hrs). We observed both members of the pair at all of these nests. We video recorded each nest throughout incubation during morning (between 0700 and 1100 hrs) and afternoon (between 1500 and 1900 hrs). We video recorded nests only during the morning for the chick stages. Data Analysis. More
