Rancho Oreong, 16.1 mi. SE Tonala', Chiapas
April 2 Wrens are in small groups - 2-4 birds. Took a picture
of a possible nest.
The songs are:
most frequent
① Pico-what or Pico-weet ΠΠ I , ΠΠ I
sometimes given quickly several in succession and
occasionally given slowly and sweetly, In any event
this is the most frequently given variation of the song,
② pe-e-co?wee (gua), pe-e-co?wee (gua)
Not a frequently heard variation.
③ oo pi co?weet - heard once,
④ we-do-it, we-do-it, we-do-it
⑤ week-o-wat-da - not frequent
⑥ oh-wee-tho-weee-wa - not frequent
⑦ who?wee, who?wee, who?wee, who?wee
given fast. This is frequently heard,
Notes: a guttural, rasping gua, gua-gua-gua (run
together). I did not note many occasions when the
birds duetted but I am sure they do.
We found wrens rare along the stream but generally
distributed in all vegetation in the area - although
entower areas & edges of these areas are preferred
habitat.
