Introduction
Rufous Sabrewing has a restricted geographic range, and its natural history is very poorly known. Very little is known about its foraging ecology, its breeding biology, and about demographic factors such as life span and survivorship, dispersal, or population regulation. As is the case with many other species of highland hummingbirds, it also is not known to what extent Rufous Sabrewing is resident or has population movements, and whether any such movements represent regular altitudinal migrations or simply reflect individuals dispersing in search of food resources.
