What are the differences in range between different species of hummingbirds?

Hummingbirds are some of the most fascinating and unique birds in the world. Not only are they incredibly fast and agile, but they also come in a wide variety of species. However, one of the most interesting things about these tiny birds is the range differences between them.

Different species of hummingbirds have different ranges, depending on a variety of factors. Some species live in one specific area, while others can be found across a large part of a continent. For example, the Rufous hummingbird is known for having one of the broadest ranges of any North American species. These birds can be found breeding from Alaska to California, and then migrate south to Mexico and Central America for the winter.

Other species of hummingbirds have more limited ranges. The Violet-capped Woodnymph, for instance, is found only in a small area of Brazil. Meanwhile, the Bee hummingbird, which is the world's smallest bird, is only found in Cuba. These limited ranges can make these birds especially vulnerable to habitat destruction and other environmental threats.
