Spotted
The Dusky Hummingbird is a medium-sized hummingbird endemic to Mexico, distinguished by its rather plain, dusky plumage compared to many flashier hummingbirds.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of central and southern Mexico, inhabiting thorn forests, dry scrub, open woodlands, and plantations.
How to spot
Look for a duller, less iridescent hummingbird than many other species. Listen for its distinctive, buzzy calls and watch for its direct, darting flight between flowering plants.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its specific range. Most active during the morning and late afternoon, when foraging for nectar and small insects.
Unlike its more colorful relatives, the Dusky Hummingbird's subdued plumage helps it blend seamlessly into its arid and semi-arid habitats, relying on its movements and calls for recognition.
