Spotted
The Cuban Tody is a tiny, charismatic bird endemic to Cuba, easily recognized by its bright emerald-green plumage, red throat, and disproportionately large, flattened bill. It is a jewel of the Cuban forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to Cuba and its adjacent small islands. Found in a variety of wooded habitats, including dry forests, moist evergreen forests, pine forests, and even gardens.
How to spot
Look for its bright green plumage moving among the foliage, often perching motionless for long periods. Listen for its distinctive 'tot-tot-tot' or 'terp' calls. Patience is required as they are small and can be inconspicuous in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons when insects are abundant. Its calls are often heard during these times.

Despite its small size, the Cuban Tody is an aggressive insect hunter, using its broad bill to snatch insects from leaves or in short aerial sallies. It often gives a rattling call that sounds much louder than its size would suggest.
