Broad-billed Hummingbirds are considered a small hummingbird. Their average length is 8.25 - 10.2 cm (31/4 - 4 inches) long, with a wingspread of approximately 12.7 cm (5 inches). The males weigh about 3.7 grams (0.125 oz), while the females are a little lighter at 3.4 grams (0.1 oz). Broad-billed Hummingbirds have a bright red bill with a black tip. The adult males have metallic green bodies, vibrant blue throats, white undertail coverts and black forked tails. The adult females have metallic green upper parts and grayish throats and undersides. Their tails have pale outer tips. Most distinguishing about the female is the thin white spot behind her eye.
The method in which hummingbird wings are attached to the shoulder allows the wings to move in various angles, enabling the hummingbird to hover, fly straight up, sideways, and even backwards. This unique method of flight requires large flight and pectoral muscles, which weigh about 30 percent of their body weight. The hummingbird's wing beat is approximately 70-75 beats per second (Page and Morton 1989; Sayer 1997; Terres 1980).
Range mass: 3.4 to 3.7 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 73 months.
The Broad-billed Hummingbird is common in Mexico as well as in south-western United States. They tend to live and nest in areas such as canyons, foothills and streambeds. Their distribution in any particular area is closely tied to the availability and abundance of appropriate food plants. (Sayre,1999; Terres, 1980).
Terrestrial Biomes: desert or dune ; chaparral
Broad-billed Hummingbirds Cynanthus latirostris are found primarily in northwestern Mexico. They do occasionally range into southern Arizona, southwest New Mexico and west Texas in the spring and summer. They are also occasionally reported in Southern California. (Terres 1980;US Distribution and Abundance 2000).
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Native )
The diet of the Broad-billed Hummingbird is primarily nectar from flowers such as the red blossoms of Ocotillo and Paintbrushes. They eat sugar-water from hummingbird feeders as well. Because of their metabolic rate, it is not uncommon for them to eat five to ten times an hour. As a result of their high-energy output, hummingbirds need to consume 1 ½ - 3 times their body weight in nectar each day. Broad-billed Hummingbirds also need protein; therefore they are known to eat many insects such as aphids, leafhoppers, bugs, and root gnats. Hummingbirds will consume more water in a day than solid foods (Sayre 1999; Terre 1980).
Broad-billed Hummingbirds pollinate many flowers. As a result, this helps to support the ecomonic growth of the ornamental horticulture industry.(Page and Morton 1989)
In the nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of hummingbirds were killed in South America and sent to England to be used as decorations. Some individuals would have the colorful birds stuffed and placed on display in their homes. Many were used in the design and decoration of women's hats. It has been reported that up to 400,000 skins were imported in a single year by one London dealer.
(Martin 1987)
Currently, there are numerous non-profit groups who are dedicated to the study and protection of hummingbirds, for example the Hummer/Bird Study Group http://www.hbsg.org and the Hummingbird Society http://www.hummingbird.org.

Broad-billed Hummingbirds breed from January to May in Mexico and in the United States from April to August. Breeding season is closely tied to the flowering season of some plants. Broad-billed Hummingbirds are polygynous, meaning that males have more than one mate at the same time. Males who defend a territory are more successful than "floaters" (those without a territory) at attracting females. The males attract females with songs, and their songs tend to be very simple in design. When the female respond to the advertising male, it usually results in copulation. The female then builds the nest. The nests are mainly built in trees or large scrubs approximately 1.22 - 2.13m (4-7 feet) above the ground, and are usually found near streambeds or a dry wash. Material used to make the nests may include grasses, leaves, bark and other plant material. Once the nest is complete, the female will lay one to two elongated, white eggs. She incubates the eggs from 14-23 days, and rears the young without the assistance of the male. (Campbell 1985; Martin 1987; Perrins 1985; Sayre 1999; Terres 1980).

Der Blaukehl-Breitschnabelkolibri (Cynanthus latirostris) oder Breitschnabelkolibri ist ein grünlicher Kolibri, der im Gegensatz zu vielen Verwandten sehr nördlich lebt.
Den männlichen Blaukehl-Breitschnabelkolibri kann man leicht an seiner kräftig grünen Ober- und Unterseite und den weißen Unterschwanzdecken erkennen, während das Weibchen eine eher mattgrüne Oberseite und weißgraue Unterseite hat. Der leicht gekrümmte Schnabel ist bis auf das schwarze Ende leuchtend rot. Der Schwanz ist leicht eingeschnitten. Die Steuerfedern sind sehr breit. Das Gewicht dieser Kolibris beträgt 7 bis 8 Gramm, die Länge etwa 8 bis 10 cm. Sie haben große, gute Augen. Der typische Ruf der Breitschnabelkolibris hört sich an wie ein scheltendes "jedit", allerdings hat das Männchen zur Brutzeit noch einen eigenen Ruf, der etwa wie "zing" klingt.
Der einzelgängerische, streitlustige und tagaktive Kolibri fällt nachts in den Torpor (Starrezustand) um Energie zu sparen. Sein Herzschlag verringert sich dabei von den normalen 1200 Schlägen pro Minute auf bis zu nur 20. Er liebt, im Gegensatz zu seinen meisten Verwandten, das offene Gelände und wird manchmal sogar in Canyons und Flusstälern angetroffen. Er verlässt seine Stammplätze nur sehr ungern, selbst wenn die Nahrung knapp wird.
Während der Brutzeit, die von Januar bis August dauert, sammeln sich manchmal einige Männchen in Trupps, um Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen. Sobald sich ein Weibchen nähert, wird es von einem Männchen mit dem überschlagenden Balzflug angeworben. Nach der Paarung verlässt das Männchen sehr schnell das Weibchen, während dieses das napfförmige Nest aus kleinen Zweigen, Baumrindestreifen und Spinnennetzen webt. Dorthinein legt es meistens zwei weiße, längliche Eier, welche es etwa 16 Tage bebrütet. Sobald die nackten Jungvögel geschlüpft sind, muss die Mutter diese fast ununterbrochen mit Nahrung versorgen. 22 bis 24 Tage später sind die Jungen flügge und verlassen das Nest, können zu dieser Zeit aber noch nicht laufen. Pro Saison zieht ein Weibchen meistens drei, manchmal zwei Bruten hoch. Mit einem Lebensjahr sind die Jungen geschlechtsreif.
Die Nahrung der Blaukehl-Breitschnabelkolibris besteht aus Pollen, Blütennektar und Insekten. Pro Tag saugt ein Tier etwa aus 2.000 Blüten. Die proteinreichen Insekten werden meistens aus Spinnennetzen gestohlen oder im Flug gefangen.
Das Verbreitungsgebiet reicht von Arizona in den USA bis in das südliche Mexiko. Im Herbst ziehen die Vögel aus Norden nach Süden. Sie sind nicht bedroht, der Bestand ist relativ stabil.
Von der Art sind bisher fünf Unterarten bekannt.[1]
William Swainson beschrieb den Blaukehl-Breitschnabelkolibri unter dem heutigen Namen Cynanthus latirostris. Mit der neuen Art führte er auch dir neue Gattung Cynanthus ein.[4][7] Dieser Name ist ein griechisches Gebilde aus »κυανός kyanos« für »dunkelblau« und »ἄνθος anthos« für »Blüte«.[8] Das Artepitheton »latirostris« ist ein lateinisches Gebilde aus »latus« für »breit« und »-rostris, rostrum« für »-schnäblig, Schnabel«.[9] »Magicus« ist das lateinische Wort für »geheimnisvoll« bzw. leitet sich vom griechischen »magikos μαγικός« für »magisch« ab.[10] Das lateinische »propinquus« bedeutet »nahe Verwandtschaft« und sollte eigentlich die Nähe zum Blaugesicht-Breitschnabelkolibri (Cynanthus doubledayi) beschreiben.[3] »Toroi« ist dem mexikanischen Sammler und Zoologen Mario del Toro Avilés gewidmet.[11] »Lawrencei« ist eine Ehrerbietung an George Newbold Lawrence (1806–1895).[12]

The broad-billed hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris) is a small-sized hummingbird that resides in Mexico and the southwestern United States.[3] The bird displays sexual dimorphism, and the juveniles resemble the female adult more than the male adult. The broad-billed hummingbird is a bright coloured bird with a broad and bright red bill. The bird is also known for its other common names – the Colibrí Pico Ancho in Spanish and Colibri circé in French.[4] It is a diurnal bird.[4]
There are around 360 described species of hummingbirds that can be further categorized into 9 different clades.[5][6] The Cynanthus genus falls under the emerald clade of hummingbirds.[6] The emerald clade formed between 10 and 15 million years ago and has the largest diversity of species.[6] The broad-billed hummingbird was formally described in 1827 by William Swainson based on specimens collected by William Bullock in México. Swainson coined the binomial name Cynanthus latirostris.[7] Swainson specified the type locality as "Table land ?" where he included a question mark. This species probably does not occur there and in 1939 the American ornithologist Robert Moore designated the type locality as the Valley of Mexico near Mexico City.[8][9] The species name combines the Latin latus meaning "broad" with -rostris meaning "-billed".[10]
The North American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (AOS), the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) recognize these three subspecies of broad-billed hummingbird:[11][5][12]
These three taxonomic systems previously included two more subspecies, what are now the Tres Marias hummingbird (C. lawrencei) and the turquoise-crowned hummingbird (C. doubledayi) but by mid-2022 had recognized them as separate species based on 2014 and 2017 publications.[13][6][11][5][12] As of that date the most recent Clements taxonomy was dated August 2021. That taxonomy recognized the turquoise-crowned hummingbird but retained the Tres Marias as a subspecies of broad-billed.[14]
The broad-billed hummingbird has hybridized with two different species: Rivoli's hummingbird (Eugenes fulgens) and the Violet-crowned hummingbird (Amazilia violiceps).[4]
The broad-billed hummingbird is a small-sized hummingbird at about 8–10 cm (3.1–3.9 in) long.[3] It weighs only 3–4 grams, with the male weighing slightly more than the female.[3] The wingspan of the hummingbird is about 13 cm (5.1 in).[15] It has a long, bright reddish coloured bill that has a black tip.[16] The birds are metallic green dorsally with more dull colouring on the crown and forehead. The hummingbird is sexually dimorphic, with the adults appearance varying significantly.

Adult male C. latirostris
Adult female C. latirostris
The male is dark green with white undertail-coverts and a blue throat.[16] The adult males tail is blackish-blue and broad. The flight feathers are brownish-gray. The adult female has a pale belly and has a white eyestripe behind her eye. Her tail feathers are white-tipped. The bill of the male is shorter but brighter red. As for size, both the juvenile and adult males have larger wings and tails than the female.[4]
The colouring of the juveniles tends to resemble the adult female. With time, the bill of the juvenile males will redden, and iridescent feathers will appear on its throat. Unlike the females, the juvenile males do not have a white-tipped tail.[17]
The hatchings have a brown body and orange downy feathers and an orange bill.[4] Not much is known about hatchlings, but in captivity, the juvenile birds have been seen to have adult plumage within 6–8 months.[4]
The C. latirostris chatter is done by both the male and the female.[4] Like the note of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) the chatter sounds like a rapid chi-dit.[18] This noise can be done while perching or in flight. The males display call is a whining zing - but little is known about its song.[3][16]
In the United States, C. l. latirostris lives along streamsides and oak woodlands. It prefers areas with streamside groves and dense vegetation, as well as open oak woodlands in lower canyons.[18] It favours living in areas with Arizona sycamore (Platanus wrightii), Fremont cottonwoods (Populus fremontii), and mesquite.[19]
In Mexico, specimens have been collected at nearly every elevation above sea level, even from 1494 to 3048 meters high.[8] Along the Pacific coast, the broad-billed hummingbird is known to be a common resident of arid thorn forests, tropical deciduous forests and riparian gallery forests.[4]
During breeding season, the broad-billed hummingbird is common in desert canyons and low mountain oak woodlands. It's found in the Southwest United States through to central Mexico. It has been noted breeding in southeast Arizona, southwest New Mexico and rarely in southwest Texas. There have also been rare sightings across the continent, including in Arkansas. In the state of Sonora, Mexico, it is the most common hummingbird.
The breeding populations of C. l. latirostris in the United States, Sonora and Nuevo León are all migratory.[4] Not enough information is known about the migration but it's believed that the birds fly deeper south into Mexico, into Guerrero and Baja California Sur.[4] Most populations in Mexico are resident, unless they reside in the extreme north. The Northern populations migrate south in the beginning of November, and return in early March.[20] There have been rare sightings in the fall and winter months in Southern California, Texas and even rarely in Oregon, Idaho, Colorado and the East Coast.[3] An abundance map of broad-bill hummingbirds has been produced on eBird.[21]
The broad-billed hummingbird eats both nectar and insects. The hummingbird is also known to visit sugar-water hummingbird feeders.[18] Their eating habits showed that the broad-billed hummingbird prefers visiting red or red-and-yellow flowers the most.[8]
To feed on nectar, the hummingbird will extend its bill and long tongue into the flower to access the nectar while hovering.[18] This differs from their behaviour at feeders, where oftentimes they will perch. To feed on insects, the bird species can catch them midair or hover and pluck them from a plant.[18]
Not much is known on the metabolism, drinking and food selection process of this species.
In the United States, the Broad-billed hummingbird is known to eat from the following flowering species:[4]
Agave (Agave parryi and A. schottii), desert honeysuckle (Anisacanthus thurberi), milkweed (Asclepias spp.), Bouvardia (Bouvardia glaberima), bird-of-paradise (Caesalpinia gilliesii), Indian paintbrush (Castilleja spp.), desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), New Mexico thistle (Cirsium neomexicanum), fireweed (Epilobium canum), coral bean (Erythrina flabelliformis), ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens), trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), scarlet bugler (Penstemon barbatus), Mojave beardtongue (P. pseudospectabilis), superb penstemon (P. superbus) and Texas betony (Stachys coccinea).
In southern Mexico, the Broad-billed hummingbird is known to eat from the following flower species:[4]
Bejuco blanco (Exogonium bracteatum), pochote (Ceiba aesculifolia), cactus (Lemairocereus spp.), fairy-duster (Calliandra spp.), Bumelia spp. and liana (Paullinia sessiliflora).
In Nayarit and Jalisco, Mexico, the broad-billed hummingbird is known to occur in the same range as the Cinnamon hummingbird (Amazilia rutila).[4] This leads to food competition and therefore when co-occurring, the C. latirostris will feed from flowers with low-nectar availability.[4] The broad-billed hummingbird will feed from high-nectar available flowers such as the sharpleaf jacaranda (Jacaranda acutifolia), sleeping hibiscus (Malvaviscus arboreus), and mistletoe (Psittacanthus longipennis). When in competition with the A. rutila, the C. latirostris will feed from Calopogonium parvum, royal poinciana (Delonix regia), velvet-seed (Hamelia versicolor), hibiscus (Hibiscus sp.), and coralblow (Russelia tenuis).[4]
In central Mexico, the C. latirostris feeds on two cacti (Pachycereus weberi and Pilosocereus chrysacanthus.) After feeding on these species, the hummingbirds studied were found to have pollen grains on them. However it was deemed that they have no role in the pollination of these plants.[22]
There is little available information regarding the broad-billed hummingbird eating insects. However, one study showed that even when there is an abundance of insects, the hummingbirds prefer to feed from flowers if available.[19] In Guadalupe Canyon, Mexico, the hummingbirds were only seen eating flying Diptera and Ephemeroptera.[19]
Broad-billed hummingbirds reproduce sexually through mates choice. To attract a mate, the male will perform a "pendulum display" to the female. This display consists of the male broad-billed hummingbird hovering in front of the female and flying back and forth 4 times in repeated arcs, just like a pendulum.[15]
In the United States, there are usually 2 brood attempts per year, in mid-April to mid-to-late June and then again in July to mid-August. These dates overlap with the peak nectar availability in the broad-bill hummingbirds' habitats.[19] In Arizona, pairs breed in semi-open habitats at 914 to 1524 meters in elevation.[18] In southern Mexico, the species breeds over a long period of time. The bird's sex organs have been shown to be able to breed from January to August.[8] In Sonora and western Mexico, breeding starts mid-January, peaking in Mid March and ending in August.[8]
The broad-billed hummingbird typically creates a nest within 2 meters of the ground.[8] In Guadalupe Canyon, most nests were found to be at an average height of 1.1 meter above the ground.[19] Although the height from the ground matters to the mothers, the nesting habitats have been found at many elevations.[8] One study found 4 nests between 14 meters, in Sinaloa, to 442 meters, in Sonora.[8] Nest site selection is thought to be less specific in individuals living towards the southern part of the range.[4] The nests themselves are constructed only by the females.[8] The female will weave nesting material (bark, grasses and dried leaves) into a nest and shape it with her body.[8] The nest is about 2.5 cm tall, with an interior diameter of 1.9 cm. The interior is lined with materials such as white plant down, plant stems, leaves, plant blooms and even lichen.[8] Once ready, the female broad-billed hummingbird will lay 2 eggs into her nest.[18] The eggs of C. latirostris are smooth and white. On average, the eggs measure 12 by 8 millimeters. Although uncertain, it's believed that the female incubates the eggs for more than 2 weeks.[18] After hatching, in Guadalupe Canyon the females spent about 60% of each hour at her nest.[19] The largest causes of nest mortality are due to predation on eggs and nestlings, abandonment of nest before egg and failure for eggs to hatch.[19]
There is little known information available regarding incubation, hatching, growth and fledgling of the broad-billed hummingbird.

Le Colibri circé (Cynanthus latirostris) est une espèce d’oiseaux de la famille des Trochilidae.
Cette espèce mesure 9 à 10 cm de longueur pour une masse de 3,2 à 4,4 g.
Cet oiseau consomme le nectar des fleurs des genres Agave, Caesalpinia, Castilleja et Opuntia. Il se nourrit également d'arthropodes : araignées, mouches (diptères), hyménoptères et autres.
Cette espèce se rencontre principalement au Mexique et dans le sud des États-Unis.
Ses habitats sont les forêts tropicales ou subtropicales humides de basse altitude ou sèches.
Cet oiseau se reproduit de janvier à mai au Mexique et d'avril à août aux États-Unis. Le mâle attire la femelle avec des chants assez simples. La femelle construit le nid et pond de un a deux œufs blancs allongés. Elle les couve seule pendant 14 à 23 jours[1].
D'après Alan P. Peterson, cette espèce est constituée des sous-espèces suivantes :
La sous-espèce C. l. doubledayi est aujourd'hui considérée comme une espèce à part entière, le Colibri de Doubleday, suivant ainsi des études génétiques.
