Picture : Roll 28 - 1,2,3,4- Bonnie took these of wrens

- The fact that joceros is not limited to scrubby desert
vegetation convinces me that it may be possible to
find a contact between this form and gularis since
that from has a rather wide ecological range to
judge from reports in literature and my observations
of last year when we found it in ribaucan vegetation
and frequently tall walnut trees in a desert area
in Hidalgo.
