Spotted
A medium-sized hummingbird recognized by its distinctive buff-colored belly, which contrasts with its iridescent green back and crown. It also features a bright red bill with a black tip and a rufous tail.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Central America, and along the Gulf Coast of the United States. It prefers semi-open habitats, woodlands, and suburban gardens.
How to spot
Key identification features include the buff belly, rufous tail, and bicolored red-and-black bill. Look for it feeding at tubular flowers or hummingbird feeders. Listen for its relatively plain, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident in much of its southern range, but northern populations are migratory, arriving in spring for breeding and departing in fall. Observe year-round in tropical areas, and seasonally in temperate zones.

The Buff-bellied Hummingbird is one of the more northern-ranging hummingbird species, with some populations undertaking short-distance migrations, a behavior less common among many tropical hummingbirds.
