Cinnamon Hummingbird

Amazilia rutila

The Cinnamon Hummingbird (Amazilia rutila) is a small, vibrant hummingbird found in the forests and woodlands of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. This species is characterized by its cinnamon-colored plumage, iridescent green throat, and long, slender bill. Cinnamon Hummingbirds are known for their agile flight and remarkable hovering abilities, which they use to feed on nectar from flowers and small insects. They are often found in semi-open areas with flowering plants and are known to be quite territorial, defending their feeding and nesting sites. Despite their small size, these hummingbirds play a vital role in pollination and contribute to the biodiversity of their habitats.
