Contra Howell and Webb 1995: 195 – 196,
there really was a small, disjunct population
of this unmistakable species in Los Tuxtlas. It
was first reported for Los Tuxtlas by Winker
et al. 1992: 702: an immature. WJS had a
total of 18 sightings of this species over his
years of observation in the Tuxtla region....
and the last sighting was of a single immature
flying near the summit of Volcan San Martín
on 24 March 1994, seen also by Dra. Patricia
Escalante. WJS fears that this small
population is extinct.

R, 1200 – 3000 m., to lower elevations in
winter in western mountains. An isolated
population was on the Tuxtla mountains, but
may now be near extinction or extinct? due to
habitat loss. In the interior mountains it is
mainly in POF and pine-evergreen forest. In
Los Tuxtlas it was mainly in CF (evergreen
oak and sweet gum), most of which was
destroyed during the 1970’s & 1980’s. The
species was an altitudinal migrant during
“nortes” in the Tuxtlas: lowest
record was a pair seen at the UNAM’s
Biological Station at 150 m. above SL, on 12
Jan. 1985 (WJS).
