Buff-Bellied Hummingbird

Amazilia yucatanensis

The Buff-Bellied Hummingbird does not stray far from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and from southern Texas south to the Yucatan Peninsula they are non-migratory. In summer some of these birds extend their range around the central and eastern shores of Texas and Louisiana.

When first I saw this bird I thought it was a Broad-Billed Hummingbird, but further study showed me that bird would be in Arizona, not Texas. Then I realized I'd met my first Buff-Bellied Hummingbird. I found these birds at a well stocked feeder in camp where I stayed in Brownsville Texas.
