This handsome little bird is confined to the highlands, ranging the whole 

 length of the country from about 3,500 feet up to timber-line on the high 

 volcanoes. It is most abundant on the eastern side of the mountains in 

 the humid forests at an elevation of about 5,000 to 8,000 feet. It lives in 

 the heavy forest, where it is found low down among the lower branches 

 of the trees, the underbrush, and even on the ground. It is fond of 

 hopping about over masses of fallen trees in small openings in the forest, 

 and is quite tame and easily approached.
