Photos 7-9 (Color Rolle #/0) show habitat of this wren, Photos 1,2,3 show habitat of other groups of wrens. Photos 4,5,6 show the area, not necessarily good wren habitat.

They are not restricted to the streamside vegetation -rather they occur generally in the deciduous thickets and small trees - abundant apparently. No sign of Chiafensis. Streamside floral elements include willow trees, totoposte, a very few amates, guanacaste (mostly small) columnarous small hard tree & shrubs. Calvitia & white-winged & ground doves are abundant.
