Field Notes
Description:
The Green-breasted Mango (Anthracothorax prevostii) is a hummingbird from tropical America.
Adults of this medium-sized hummingbird species are 11–12 cm in length. Males average 7.2 g, females, 6.8 g. The longish black bill is slightly decurved.
Like all hummingbirds, it feeds on insects and other invertebrates and nectar. Prey is often taken in mid-air but may also be gleaned from vegetation or stolen from spider webs (a behavior known as kleptoparasitism).
Habitat:
The species inhabits tropical deciduous forest, open landscapes with scattered large trees, orchards, gardens, and cultivated areas, but its distribution is spotty and often localized.
Grassy or shrubby areas, including shade-grown coffee, low elevations from sea level to 3900 ft (1200 m).
