Gould's Coquette is an exquisite, small hummingbird found in central and eastern South America. Males sport a flamboyant rufous crest and prominent white thigh tufts, setting them apart.
Where to spot
Primarily found in eastern Brazil, with scattered populations in northeastern Bolivia and southeastern Peru. Prefers forest edges, clearings, and savannas.
How to spot
Focus on areas with flowering shrubs and trees. Look for its short, straight bill and the male's vibrant crest and white 'pom-poms' on its legs.
When to spot
Best observed during flowering seasons, typically throughout daylight hours, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Active year-round.

Like many coquettes, Gould's Coquette often perches conspicuously on dead twigs or exposed branches, allowing for good views despite its tiny size.
