Googling gets me this: "The nests are open cups in the reeds or grass; this is feature that is very unlike any wren. So, despite initial placement as mimids and then as wrens, Donacobius is a unique species. Fortunately it is widely distributed in Amazonia, and is particularly characteristic of oxbow lakes and floating vegetation in sluggish streams." Thanks for any looks and comments ENJOY!

Refering to Richie's comment above, I would like to offer this variation: the longer its name, the smaller the bird, lol.

Thanks for another very fine bird capture of a to me unknown bird, Jen.

Regards, Cornelius.
