Doubleday's Hummingbird

Cynanthus doubledayi

Doubleday's Hummingbird (Cynanthus doubledayi) is a small, vibrant hummingbird species found in Mexico. It is known for its striking iridescent plumage and its swift, darting flight. The male has a brilliant iridescent blue throat and crown, while the female has a more subdued greenish coloration. These hummingbirds are often found in arid scrublands, open woodlands, and gardens, where they feed on nectar from flowers and small insects. They are agile and acrobatic flyers, capable of hovering in mid-air and quickly changing direction. Despite their small size, Doubleday's Hummingbirds are an important pollinator in their ecosystem.

Habitat: Arid scrublands, open woodlands, and gardens
