The Bronze-tailed Emerald (*Chlorestes eliciae*) is a small and distinctive hummingbird, primarily green with a noticeable bronze-colored tail, which gives it its common name. It's a charming resident of humid forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid forests, forest edges, and clearings, typically at middle elevations in specific regions of Central America.
How to spot
Key identification is its green body combined with the bronze tail, which can appear coppery or reddish-brown depending on the light. It can be found feeding at various flowering plants.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, with peak foraging activity often in the morning and late afternoon when flowers are most productive. It can be found year-round in its range.
The bronze sheen on its tail can be quite striking and evident in certain light conditions, serving as a primary and highly reliable identification feature for this species.
