Distribution

Introduction

Green-fronted Hummingbird is endemic to southern Mexico, where it occurs from Guerrero through Oaxaca to eastern Chiapas and western Guatemala (3, 11). This species primarily is resident, but some individuals may disperse seasonally (e.g., from the interior to the Pacific slope in Guerrero; 3). A published sight record from Belize is not credible (12).

The elevational range of Green-fronted Hummingbird is 60–1400 m (3).
