... Indeed, several species of the Coquette clade-mostly composed of Andean species-are notable for their strong feet (Stiles 2008), and a few species of this group that live at very high elevations even walk or hop on the ground between food plants (fig. 1E;Carpenter 1976;Miller 1985;Schulenberg and Sedgwick 2020). With these facts in view, we recorded an approximate mean elevation for each species (spreadsheet S1) for use in disentangling the causes of clinging behavior. ...

... Greeney et al (2015b) suggested that hummingbird preference for nesting on thin branches could be a response to non-aerial predators. Similar evidence has been reported for Blue-tailed Emerald (Chlorostilbon mellisugus; , Dusky Hummingbird (Phaeoptila sordida; Arizmendi et al. 2020b), and Cuban Emerald (Riccordia ricordii; Bündgen and Kirwan 2020), who build their nests near the ground (0.5 to 2 m above ground) and use thin branches for support. ...

... Furthermore, their relatively small body sizes may lower the energetic requirements for dives and modified wings may facilitate maneuverability (Payne 1984;Clark et al. 2011). Interestingly, bumblebee hummingbird (Atthis heloisa) and wine-throated hummingbird (Atthis ellioti) which inhabit forests, pine-oak woodlands, and neighboring shrubby areas (Arizmendi et al. 2020;Thurber et al. 2020) are non-diving and regained singing (Clark et al. 2018). Overall, the expansion of bees to North America and consequent occupation of open habitats combined with their anatomical specializations might have favored the enhancement of visual displays and associated mechanical sounds. ...

... Cinnamon Hummingbirds (Amazilia rutila) are medium-sized (4-6 g). Their sexes are similar, and their plumage is completely cinnamon with bronze-green upperparts (Arizmendi et al. 2020a). Lastly, the Goldencrowned Emerald (Cynanthus auriceps) is a small (2-3 g) hummingbird endemic to western Mexico. ...

... Rivoli's hummingbird is a resident species that favors mountain regions, as are the garnet-throated hummingbird, the violet sabrewing and the wine-throated hummingbird. By contrast, the white-bellied emerald and cinnamon hummingbird favor lowland forest (Stiles & Skutch, 1989;Arizmendi et al., 2020). ...

... The pheasant cuckoo, a non-migratory El Salvador resident is by contrast a forest species, frequenting forest understory in lowland evergreen and deciduous forest, and riverine forest, feeding on insects (Lowther, 2020b). The lesser ground-cuckoo, also an El Salvador resident is more of a generalist, frequenting forest, savanna and shrubland (Payne, 2005;Soberanes-González et al., 2020c). The yellow-billed cuckoo is similarly a resident generalist of forest, savanna and shrubland habitats. ...

... Los trabajos desarrollados por Tashían (1952), Goodnight y Goodnight (1956), Paynter (1957), Nocedal (1981) y Rangel-Salazar y Vega-Rivera (1989), en conjunto reportan 235 especies de aves. Recientemente Rangel-Salazar (1990) reporta 235 especies, incluyendo un nuevo registro para México y dos para Chiapas, y Howell (1989) reporta el primer registro para México del tapacaminos cola corta Lurocalis semitorquatus. El presente trabajo añade 86 especies (36.6% de 235 y 29% de 296) que no habían sido reportadas para la zona Lacandona, agregando 3 nuevos Aves registros de aves migratorias para el Estado de Chiapas; Charadrius semipalmatus, Dendroica caerulescens y Dendroica pinus. ...
