The first published reference to the occurrence of this species in 

 Costa Rica, giving definite locality, is that by Zeledon, in his Catalogue 

 of the Birds of Costa Rica, 1887. In 1893 Mr. Cherrie records 

 specimens from the Terraba Valley. 



It is not a common bird in Costa Rica, and is confined to the low- 

 lands of the Caribbean and the southern portion of the Pacific coast 

 region. There are no records of the taking of specimens above an 

 altitude of 1,500 feet. It is confined to the heavy forest, and has 

 habits very similar in almost every respect to the following species. 

 It has the very curious habit of calling out suddenly and loudly two or 

 three times at the report of a gun, or when suddenly disturbed by any 

 cause. This note is loud and clear and of a rather musical tone, and 

 can be heard for some distance. It shows a decided preference for 

 a peculiar hard-wood tree locally known as "Gavelon," which is 

 abundant in the foot-hills to the south of the Santa Clara Valley.
