The Andean Emerald is a small, vibrant hummingbird primarily found in the high-altitude cloud forests of the Andes. Known for its iridescent green plumage, it is a dazzling sight amidst the lush vegetation.
Where to spot
Typically found in cloud forests, forest edges, and shrubby areas along the Andean foothills, from Venezuela to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its rapid, darting flight among flowering plants, especially around salvia or fuchsia. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzy calls, and watch for territorial displays.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours, with peak foraging activity often observed in the morning and late afternoon.
