Spotted
A striking hummingbird characterized by its iridescent green upperparts and, in males, a contrasting black belly. Females are typically paler with dusky bellies.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and their borders, as well as clearings and gardens, primarily in Costa Rica and Panama.
How to spot
Scan flowering trees and shrubs at forest edges or clearings. The male's black belly is a key identifier. Its rapid flight and high-pitched chirps can also help locate it.
When to spot
Best observed during daylight hours throughout the year. Activity peaks in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging is most intense.
