R.K.Selander, 1954 8 March 21 .4 mi. from Paredon to Tonala' We noted no nests. The country here is drier than it is closer to Tonala' and the large green trees are absent. 3.2 mi. from Paredon to Tonala' - an old nest of acotus wren in an acacia near the road. Directly across the road is a a large guanacaste tree. We searched in a stand of acacia and along a dense hedgerow without finding wrens. 3.6 mi. from Paredon - Two chiapensis foraging 75 feet or more high in a guanacaste tree. Shot one. Heard two other pairs or groups singing in large trees. Noted two nests 20ft up in a small leaved species of amate in front yard of farm house which are [illegible] acotus wren nests. May have heard thuribuli but cannot be sure. Large trees seem to be necessary for chiapensis, 4.2 mi. from Paredon - a chiapensis flew across the road near farm houses. 5 mi. from Paredon - Took a Thryothorus modestus in low bushes at side of road.
