[This species is resident and fairly common through the 
thickly wooded parts of the country, living entirely on the 
ground. It is a matter-of-fact little bird taking no notice of 
anyone, busy with its own affairs, and will feed right up to 
the feet of the observer if he will but remain quiet.— W. F.~]
