Often treated as a subspecies of the Collared Inca, Conrad's Inca is another stunning member of the *Coeligena* genus. It shares the characteristic white chest band and vibrant green and violet iridescence found in its relatives.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically in specific regions of the Andes, particularly in parts of Colombia and Venezuela. Occurs at elevations around 1,800 to 3,000 meters (5,900 to 9,800 feet).
How to spot
Watch for them visiting large, tubular flowers. They can sometimes be seen perching on branches, especially males defending a feeding territory. Patience and a good understanding of local flora are beneficial.
When to spot
Observe during daylight hours, especially when the light is good for revealing their iridescent colors. They are year-round residents in their habitat.

Hummingbirds have the highest metabolic rate of any endothermic animal, needing to feed almost constantly to sustain their rapid wing beats and high energy demands, especially in cooler, high-altitude environments.
