Marshall, 1942
Henicorhina leucophrys
Two Examples
March 15 At about 10am. at little creek
in cloud forest where much dense
riparian brush-vines-ferns squeaked
up this wren (in ferns) so it gave a
wrenlike note that was new to me.
March 17 at dawn summit - edge cloud forest, beginning
of high dense humid brush, vines, etc on
damp ground was squeaking & owl calling & shooting
everything that I could see - got the
Henicalnia 2121 as it came across view in
stems blackberries etc about 1 ft above ground.
Same place where Atlapetes (8Brewster) farther
into cloud forest). Wing 5.43, tail 30, tarsus 21.6, culmen 13.2,
bill from ant. to nostril 13.6, depth 3.2 width 25 at edge nostril
March 26 ♂ 2183 skel. taken in dense undergrowth
of cloud forest near Brushy Creek.
Foraging in tangle of twigs, vines, etc.
Calls - bzzt, bzzt. (2) v Canyon Wren,
also a cut, cut. Song very sweet
& clear patterned v Thryothorus modestus
long but more varied & superior musically.
But like it is that just 2 phrases at time.
These calls heard from all streams in canyons
of the cloud forest - a very common bird
but hard to see.
April 4 ♂ 2255 attracted by owl calls in area of
(dense humid brush & vines in open cloud forest)
(Another with it) (near nest)
