In general, abundance of this species has been found to be positively correlated with increased tree species diversity, canopy height, and percent canopy cover.

Unlike most other wrens, it is typically found from mid-levels to canopy height.

It favors humid and rather low-growing forest with canopy heights of about 50-80 ft (15-25 m).

In dense humid forest, it is typically found at canopy height, but it is commonly seen a lower levels in more open habitats.

In addition, bats were observed foraging at canopy height in Virginia.

There is also an apparent correlation between the canopy height and logs and the presence of black rats.

The canopy height of tropical hardwood hammocks varies according to substrate and climate.

The rear fuselage line is raised compared with the forward section, but not to the full canopy height.

It is lower in canopy height than the igapó forests, and its undergrowth is thicker and more entangled.
