This pie chart shows the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Eupherusa cyanophrys

Range and Population:

Eupherusa cyanophrys is endemic to the Sierra Miahuatlán, an isolated mountain range in southernmost Oaxaca, Mexico. It has been found in two areas of the sierra, separated by c.60-70 km: in the west along the Puerto Escondido road; and to the east along the Puerto Angel road at its intersection with the río Jalatengo. Appropriate habitat appears widespread along the latter road⁶, and it was locally common until at least 1997^4,5, but its known range remains highly restricted.[1]

Biome:

Terrestrial

Ecology Notes:

It is primarily restricted to cloud-forest and the upper reaches of tropical semi-deciduous forest at 1,300-1,950 m, occasionally wandering (possibly seasonally) to c.700 m on adjacent mountain slopes. It also occurs up to 2,500 m, but at lower densities³. Nesting has been recorded in September-November and May³.[1]
