 Costa Rican and Panaman birds average a little smaller than birds 

 from British Honduras and Mexico, but the difference is so small and 

 there is such a range of variation that it is of little consequence. 



T. massena is a very common bird in some parts of Costa Rica, in- 

 habiting both the Caribbean and Pacific lowlands up to an altitude of 

 about 2,000 feet, but is more abundant in the lowlands, between 

 sea-level and 800 feet. It is strictly a bird of the forest, very rarely 

 even going to the outskirts of the woodland. It keeps rather low 

 down in the trees, unless feeding in a tall one, and is very tame and 



stupid as a rule.
