Magnificent Hummingbird

Eugenes fulgens

 

Jennifer Smith
This species is found throughout the highlands of northern Central America. I think of this species as being mostly found in cloud forest and edge, though Howell and Webb include a number of other habitats including pine-oak, desert grasslands and open farmland. They tend to be fairly common, though rarely the commonest hummingbird in the areas where they are found. I have seen them in El Salvador at El Pital, La Montañona and at Los Andes on Santa Ana Volcano. In Guatemala, I have seen them at Finca Chicharos, Fuentes Georginas, Volcan Agua and Volcan Atitlan. In Honduras, I have seen them at La Botija, La Tigra and Guisayote.
