Description

Habitat

Vegetation: montaine evergreen forests • Minimum Elevation: 900 meters • Maximum Elevation: 1,800 meters • Zoogeographic Region: Southern Mexican Highlands • Foraging Strata: Canopy • Center of Abundance: Upper tropical: higher slopes, 900-1,600 m.; tropics. • Sensitivity to Disturbance: Medium

Ecology: It inhabits humid to semi-humid evergreen and semi-deciduous forest , forest edge and shade coffee plantations at elevations of 900-1,800 m , where it feeds on the flowers of Inga and Cecropia2. There are local reports to 650 m suggesting that it may migrate altitudinally, breeding at higher elevations (possibly November-February), and spending March-August (possibly longer ) at lower altitudes2.
