K. Selander, 1952 3 Camphylorhynchus rufinucha August 5 Cerro Leyman, 200ft., 20 mi. W Veracrg, Veracruz, Mexico Wrens not found commonly today. Heard two calling in dense shrub and trees near the road but they would not come to a squeak. Notes are a soft "cha-cha-cha", "cha-cha", "cha-cha-cha-cha- cha" quite unlike the rising, louder notes of C. zonotus or C. megalepterus. A little more like C. joiozus but still softer, more run together. Several other notes given in addition to the "cha" but I failed to record them. Deterus guloris is frequently found in the same place as are these wrens - have a note that I at first attributed to the wrens. From all indications C. rufinucha is fairly common in this region - but rather evenly spread - no large flocks- and more or less stationary. Not moving about in groups. I heard the notes of these wrens in about the same spots as yesterday, suggesting that they are rather stationary.
