As if the presence of a large tree such as a mango
is [illegible] important in determining the presence or
absence of wrens. The nests do not appear to be
placed in these large trees, however (see exception
back a page or two, however) but rather in ocociss
or other thorny trees at the edges of clearings.
Bul-lon acacia is the usual nesting tree. Height
of nest placement varies from 7 to about 15 feet
above the ground.
We found no evidence of humilis or nigricaudatus
today in the vicinity of our camp although we hunted
rather thoroughly through the drier, lusher, or
stands of vegetation. Neither of howli's deoyhas
brought in these species to date.
