Cantorchilus nigricapillus (Bay Wren)

Synonyms: Thryothorus nigricapillus

Wikipedia Abstract

The bay wren (Cantorchilus nigricapillus) is an attractive and highly vocal wren species, readily observed in forested areas, especially along watercourses, in the lowlands and foothills of parts of southern Central America and northwestern South America. Its distinctive vocalizations draw attention to this inquisitive species, which is nevertheless an expert skulker.
