The Mexican Woodnymph (Eupherusa ridgwayi) is endemic to west-central Mexico with a narrow distribution range and relatively small population size. The species nest, nesting activities and nestling's characteristics were unknown until now. We generated a map of this species using data from BirdLife International, the Global Biodiversity Information Fund database, e-Bird, and the Naturalista. We used the Mexican Woodnymph records in Jalisco and projected them on a vegetation map. We documented a female constructing a nest, later nesting, until the nestlings flew out of the nest in the cloud forest in central-western Mexico: Jalisco state. The nest site was characterized and the materials used for the nest construction were determined. In addition, we documented several observations made on territorial and foraging behavior.
