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).
