Ridgway's Hummingbird is a distinctive and localized species named in honor of the prominent American ornithologist Robert Ridgway. It is known for its relatively duller plumage compared to other hummingbirds.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highland forests of west-central Mexico, specifically in Jalisco and Michoacán.
How to spot
Seek it in humid evergreen forests and cloud forests at moderate elevations. Look for its overall green plumage, white outer tail feathers, and a distinctive call. It can be elusive, so patience is key.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk, when it forages for nectar. It is a year-round resident in its limited range.
