R.K. Selander, 1953 H. chiofensis 1/3 Tondla, 180ft., Chiapas, Mexico Oct. 27 Tore apart two nests - probably this species - in a hull homoeocia - "ISHCANAL" - both about same size 14-15 inches long 10 inches in diameter. at one end a round chamber of fine grass and twigs + feathers chicken (?) and either ani or grackle. Rest of nest made up of fine to coarse dry twigs and pieces of bark, with some coarse grass. Opening(s) not readily visible. Nests contained no feathers - I mean that I could see; although but my examination was hasty. Nest probably put together something like this chamber opening? tunnel ? Oct. 31 Noted 5 birds on ground - hopping rather act- wordly in big hops. Birds picking up nesting material. Also found numerous birds in small groups around a large dead tree which had fallen over. One family centering around this tree, another about 75 yds. away in same field and another just across the road.
