Where to spot
Endemic to a specific, small region in northern Guerrero, Mexico. Found in fragmented humid deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, often near flowering trees.
How to spot
Requires specialized expeditions to its known habitat. Look for its small size, green plumage, and the male's unique short, yellowish-rufous crest and white post-ocular spot.
When to spot
Sightings are rare due to its restricted range and endangered status. Best sought during flowering seasons, typically within daylight hours.
