Cozumel Emerald Chlorostilbon forficatus
Version: 1.0 — Published June 28, 2013
Behavior
Introduction
The foraging behavior of Cozumel Emerald has not been described in detail, but generally is similar to that of other species of Chlorostilbon (Howell and Webb 1995), suggesting that it forages from low to midheights, but often near the ground, and that they wag the tail as they feed, often holding the tail partially open, so that the fork in the tail is noticeable (Howell and Webb 1995).
Territoriality
Little information. Cozumel Emerald probably is not territorial; the closely related Canivet's Emerald (Chlorostilbon canivetii), for example, forages by traplining (Feinsinger and Chaplin 1975).
Sexual Behavior
Little information. Cozumel Emerald presumably is polygynous, as are most if not all species of hummingbirds (Schuchmann 1999: 509).
Social and interspecific behavior
Canivet's Emerald usually is solitary, as is typical of hummingbirds.
Predation
No reported instances of predation on Cozumel Emerald?
