Description

Habitat

Vegetation: tropical lowland evergreen forest, tropical lowland evergreen forest, second-growth forests and woodlands • Maximum Elevation: 1,000 meters • Zoogeographic Region: Southern Central America • Foraging Strata: Midstory • Center of Abundance: Lower tropical: lowlands, lower than 500 m.; tropics. • Sensitivity to Disturbance: Medium

Ecology: It inhabits mature secondary and evergreen forest , usually in dense understorey vegetation on the forest edges, along forest streams and in natural forest clearings11,12,13. In La Selva, it has been recorded in cocoa plantations and similar "semi-open" areas6, but is not known from small forest fragments. It ranges from the low foothills to c.900 m , and locally to 1,050 m 11. The Nicaraguan localities are apparently in the lowlands, but specimens could have been collected in nearby hilly areas. Nests have been found in hollows of fairly large trees and in large, non-native bamboo stems13.
