The Collared Inca is a strikingly beautiful hummingbird known for its distinctive white breast band. It inhabits the humid montane forests of the Andes, often found at mid to high elevations. Its vibrant plumage makes it a favorite among birdwatchers.
Where to spot
Andean cloud forests and humid montane forests, from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Typically found at elevations between 1,800 to 3,000 meters (5,900 to 9,800 feet).
How to spot
Look for them feeding at tubular flowers, especially those of bromeliads or Ericaceae. Be patient and watch for their rapid wingbeats and distinctive white collar. Their relatively large size for a hummingbird can also aid in identification.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon when flowers are most productive. Can be seen year-round within its range.

Despite their intricate flight, Collared Incas are quite robust hummingbirds, adapted to the cooler, higher-altitude environments where they thrive. They often perch conspicuously, making them easier to spot than some other hummingbird species.
