Spotted
The Blue-capped Hummingbird is a critically endangered and extremely localized species, known for the male's iridescent blue crown. It is one of the rarest hummingbirds in the world.
Where to spot
Restricted to a tiny area within the humid evergreen forests of the Sierra de Miahuatlán in Oaxaca, Mexico.
How to spot
Due to its rarity, locating this bird requires significant effort and local knowledge. Look for the male's distinct blue cap and overall green body within its specific, limited forest habitat. Observe from a distance to avoid disturbance.
When to spot
Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when actively feeding on nectar. It is a resident species within its small habitat.
Its extremely restricted range and small population make it a high conservation priority.
