One thought on “Oaxaca Hummingbird (Eupherusa cyanophrys)”
Recent observations from the Miahuatlán slope (north slope of the Sierra Sur) indicate that the population extends across the entire Sierra Sur. The previously proposed separation into two distribution areas appears to be a misinterpretation, likely influenced by limited road access. This is supported by observations made by Jan Pierson on January 15, 2025, along the new highway between the two previously estimated areas.
Additional recent observations from San José del Pacífico, along with older photographic records from the same site, confirm that this species occurs on the northern side of the Sierra. An unconfirmed observation from Los Coatlánes further suggests that the species’ range may extend even beyond what is currently documented.
