Tiny Wonders: Conserving Hummingbirds Across the Americas

Hummingbirds are a true wonder of the Americas – from their bright colors and speedy flight to their astonishing diversity (more than 360 species!) and incredible migrations. These tiny but mighty birds are unique to the Western Hemisphere and inhabit a wide range of habitats, including tropical rainforests, arid deserts, and even urban neighborhoods.  But hummingbirds are not so small, or so fast, that they can avoid the many threats to their survival, and many are in decline. At least 50 species are under threat across the Americas, including the Rufous Hummingbird, and several are perilously close to extinction, such as Colombia’s Santa Marta Sabrewing, Ecuador’s Blue-throated Hillstar, Mexico’s Short-crested Coquette, and Chile’s Chilean Woodstar.
