BuMa 05 was captured later that day (August 20) at dusk in yet another goldmine site.  This site is active, but I will continue to go there on Sundays when the miners are not working.  I have heard two different species of Hawk-Eagles there. I captured this male, and intend to capture his mate tomorrow!

BuMa06, a male, was captured along the Rio Los Amigos, the smaller of the two rivers that join here at our research station’s site.  The Rio Los Amigos is a protected river in partnership with the gold miners, and it is not mined at all.  It is navigable north as far as another station called CM3, and beyond that, it is known that at least one voluntary non-contact tribal group lives, and several others are known of but unconfirmed (and therefore can remain non-contact status).  This river is a beautiful natural treasure.  It is not uncommon to see jaguar and ocelot sleeping on its banks, or tapir bathing in its shallows.  The Los Amigos watershed is the heart of this protected area.

BuMa 07, female, is the mate of BuMa06.  I captured her yesterday morning, and because I was alone, it was difficult to take a good picture.  But she is such a pretty girl, I had to include her photo as well!
