| This species is found throughout
much of the region, though it is far commoner on the Caribbean
slope. Howell and Webb do not include it for the central parts
of northern Central America (except the Peten), but I have seen
them at Celaque and La Muralla which suggest that they are found
throughout. The status on the Pacific slope is less clear. I
have seen them at Santa Maria de Jesus on the Pacific slope
of Guatemala, but I have still never seen one in El Salvador.
The Pacific slope gets progressively drier from Guatemala into
El Salvador and this may account for the apparent rarity in
the country, though Komar and Dominguez do include it in the
El Salvador list as a confirmed breeder. |
