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.
