Introduction
White-capped Hummingbird is common, at least locally, but has a very restricted geographic distribution, and its natural history is very poorly known. Very little is known about its foraging ecology, its breeding biology, and about demographic factors such as life span and survivorship, dispersal, or population regulation. Particularly important topics for research include documenting the extent to which it undertakes elevational movements or migrations, its tolerance for habitat disturbance, its population density, and its overall population size and the trend of the population.
