I think that this bird is a regular and fairly common winter visitor in 

 the Caribbean lowlands, for I saw small flocks of them on numerous oc- 

 casions in the vicinity of Guapiles, Jimenez, and El Hogar, in the winters 

 of 1905-6 and 1906-7.

This handsome species is confined to the mangroves bordering the salt 

 and brackish estuaries of the Pacific coast. It is particularly common 

 along the shores of the Gulf of Nicoya north of Puntarenas, and just 

 opposite that town, on the mainland. It is also present along the delta 

 of the Rio Grande de Terraba.
