As its name suggests, the Charming Emerald (*Polyerata decora*) is a striking hummingbird with iridescent green plumage and a distinctive rufous undertail, making it quite eye-catching and beautiful.
Where to spot
Primarily found in humid evergreen forests and their edges, especially in the foothills and lower montane zones of Central America.
How to spot
Look for its bright green body combined with a noticeable rufous undertail, which is a key identification feature. It is often seen perching quietly or darting quickly between flowering plants.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging for nectar and small insects, with increased activity often observed during dawn and dusk when temperatures are cooler.
The species name 'decora' is derived from Latin, meaning 'ornamented' or 'elegant,' which aptly describes its beautiful and vibrant appearance in its natural habitat.
