The Bahama Woodstar is a small, vibrant hummingbird endemic to the Bahamas, known for its iridescent green plumage and the male's striking magenta throat. It is a key pollinator in its island ecosystem.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bahamas archipelago, inhabiting broadleaf forests, scrub, gardens, and urban areas throughout the islands.
How to spot
Look for its small size and the male's iridescent gorget, which can appear dull or black depending on the light angle, flashing magenta when caught by the sun. Listen for its distinctive vocalizations. They are often seen at flowering shrubs and feeders.
When to spot
Observed year-round within its island range. Most active during daylight, especially morning and late afternoon, when visiting flowers for nectar.
The Bahama Woodstar's flight calls include a distinctive 'chick-a-dee' sound, a unique vocalization among hummingbirds.
