Contra Howell and Webb 1995: 195 – 196, there
really was a small, disjunct population of this
unmistakable species in Los Tuxtlas. It was first
reported for Los Tuxtlas by Winker et al. 1992: 702:
an immature. WJS had a total of 18 sightings of this
species over his years of observation in the Tuxtla
region....and the last sighting was of a single
immature flying near the summit of Volcan San
Martín on 24 March 1994, seen also by Dra. Patricia
Escalante. WJS fears that this small population is
extinct.

sightings of birds following army ant columns
(Eciton burchellii) on the Santa Marta massif at an
elevation of ca. 700 m. (15 January, 1976); 2 other
sightings in the same area on 12 Jan., 1977 and on

definite observations of this species at close range
= 6 – 12 m. It was only in virgin RF. WJS fears it

R, 1200 – 3000 m., to lower elevations in
winter in western mountains. An isolated population
was on the Tuxtla mountains, but may now be near
extinction or extinct? due to habitat loss. In the
interior mountains it is mainly in POF and pine-
evergreen forest. In Los Tuxtlas it was mainly in CF
(evergreen oak and sweet gum), most of which
was destroyed during the 1970’s & 1980’s. The
species was an altitudinal migrant during “nortes” in
the Tuxtlas: lowest record was a pair seen at the
UNAM’s Biological Station at 150 m. above SL, on 12
Jan. 1985 (WJS).
