Introduction
The Amethyst-throated Hummingbird is native to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. This hummingbird is easily recognized by its bright pink throat. It is a characteristic species of the interior of humid montane evergreen and pine-oak forests. Although the Amethyst-throated Hummingbird is widespread and is fairly common, it potentially is vulnerable to deforestation.
