L 3 J L 3 J L 3 J
5 Peck-tweet, etc.
Some kind then gave Pico-weet and then
Peck-o-wa -> This given by two
bird in union, with a third joining in just at the
last.
I believe that nigricaudatus and chiapensis are
close in habitat requirements -although the former
endoubtedly has a wider tolerance and is able to
occupy brushy places such as near Rancho Oconoz
and "above" Rancho Occilapa. However, when
it hits Tonalei region only the rich vegetation
is available & this is occupied by an abundant
population of chiapensis - extremely abundant -
probably filling all available areas suitable.
A few birds push to 2.6 mi. SE where they occupy
drier places along the road not frequented by
chiapensis - but even so they are uncommon.
