Habitat:
The species is found predominantly at borders of humid cloud forest and dwarf forest, but occasionally in more open vegetation up to open páramo, from 2,000-3,600 m (del Hoyo et al. 1999). It has been characterised as more confined to forest interior than H. clarisse (Hilty 2003), although Restall et al. (2006) state that it is found at the borders of forest and woodland. It forages in the low and middle strata, feeding on nectar and insects.
Range:
Heliangelus spencei is endemic to the Andes of Mérida in north-western Venezuela (del Hoyo et al. 1999, Hilty 2003, Restall et al. 2006).
