R. K. Selander, 1954 @ zonotus 5 April 17 16 mi. SE San Cristobal, 7200ft., Chis., Mex. The iris seems more intense in color than that of chiapensis or humilis or signicaudatus. The legs and feet are a horny yellow or a yellow-olive. Bonnie describes a posture with tail cocked up at 45 deg angle - flipped up rather than held - this assumed when bird is in 'a horizontal perch' when feeding (the lone bird seen in this posture). Observation today show that the birds are not con- fined to the large oaks with dense epiphytes. As yet it is difficult to see why they are so spotty in distribution. In any event they are uncommon in this area. Apparently breeding has not yet begun. [Probably forage almost entirely in oaks, however] v April 20 At about 7:00 A.M. I collected a lone wren which was foraging in a juniper near the tent - presumably one of the birds of the group seen yesterday near camp. Late in the morning I hunted SW from camp without seeing wrens. Took one Q Cephrimulge vocifera in a pine-oak area. 2 the afternoon I hunted East from camp without finding wrens and it now appears that they are very rare in the area surrounding camp. This area is lower than the forests closer to San Cristobal and the junipers probably indicate greater aridity.
