Reo Guanacol, Smi. E Nitterker
May 2 Wrens singing commonly in the afternoon, often heard one sing while the other of the pair trilled. We are located along a dry sandy river bed 30 yds. wide,
There is a line of big guanacaste trees along the river, backed with an open understory of the type at Rio
Agua Dulce but more open (see beyond, plants
collected). Wrens occur in the understory
and in patches of low vegetation in areas where
no large trees are present.
Color & legs & feet of specimens today ranged from dull
blue-slate to slate with a bluish-green cast. Several
specimens were moderately fat, especially in the interclavicular
area.
Local name: Pocholito,
