Munchique Wood Wren - BirdForum Opus

Revision as of 21:20, 24 May 2007 by Kits (talk | contribs)
Henicorhina negreti

The Munchique Wood-wren Henicorhina negreti is a member of the wren family (Troglodytidae), described as new to science in 2003. It was first observed by Steven Hilty in the 1980s and not described until detailed studies by Paul Salaman, Paul Coopmans, Thomas Donegan and others in the region in 2001. Munchique Wood-Wren is replaced sharply by Grey-breasted Wood-Wren at lower elevations and on an opposite Andean mountain slope.

The bird is found on the Munchique Massif in the western Andes in the Chocó Endemic Bird Area, Colombia.
