Abstract

Here we present a summary of interaction records between the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, Amazilia tzacatl and a variety of flowering plants in the urban area of Cartagena, Colombia. Observations were conducted using point count methodology. The list includes twelve plant species, most of them native. All recorded flowering plants are newly documented resources for this species and are distributed within its historical range.
