Slatytailed

Slatytailed is a term primarily associated with a group of hummingbird species. These hummingbirds are characterized by the slate-gray coloration of their tail feathers, which is a distinguishing feature among them. The most well-known species referred to as Slatytailed is the Slatytailed Hummingbird, *Microchera agnetae*. This small bird is found in the cloud forests of Honduras.

Other species might also be described as having slaty tails, though the specific moniker "Slatytailed" is most commonly applied to *Microchera agnetae*. The plumage of these birds often includes iridescent greens and blues on their bodies, contrasting with the darker, slaty tail. Their diet consists mainly of nectar from flowers, and they play a role in pollination.

The Slatytailed Hummingbird is considered relatively uncommon and is often observed at mid-elevations. Conservation efforts are important for species like the Slatytailed Hummingbird, as habitat loss and degradation can pose threats to their populations. Their specific habitat requirements, often tied to undisturbed forest environments, make them particularly vulnerable to changes in their ecosystem.
