April 18 The group of giant oaks frequented by the
wrens was located on a ridge adjacent to a large
cleared flat area bordered by a rather thick
growth of broad-leaved [illegible] trees & big shrubs. The
wrens may have had nests there but I did not in-
vestigate thoroughly enough to find any if they were
present.
Since bombs collected for about 2 weeks at
our camp it would be a mistake to assume
that the wrens do not occur elsewhere other
than on the large epiphyte-covered oaks. He
may have collected all the wrens in the area
immediately adjacent to camp.
16 mi. SE San Cristobal, 7200 ft., Chis., Mex.
April 19 At about 6:00 A.M. I shot at a lone bird foraging
about 20 feet above ground in a oak on the hill
NW of the tent. It apparently was a lone bird and
was silently feeding. I hunted across the road
(near a sign reading "Palom") where there is a
house and a few cattle and where a small stream
of water runs along the highway. I hunted up
on the ridge where there are a number of oak trees
heavily draped with Spanish moss & epiphytes
without hearing a wren. At summit of ridge there
are a few small fan palms. On returning to
camp at 10:00 P.M. Bonnie called my attention.
