Spotted
The Bronze-tailed Coquette is a minute and striking hummingbird endemic to eastern Brazil. It is characterized by its brilliant green plumage and the male's distinctive coppery-bronze tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to southeastern Brazil, particularly within the Atlantic Forest biome. Inhabits humid forests, forest borders, and clearings, often near flowering plants.
How to spot
Search for tiny, darting birds around flowering trees and shrubs. The male's short, coppery-bronze tail is a key diagnostic feature, especially in good light.
When to spot
Active year-round, with heightened activity during the flowering seasons of its preferred nectar sources. Best observed during daylight hours.

The Bronze-tailed Coquette, like other coquettes, feeds on nectar from a variety of small, brightly colored flowers, and also gleans small insects for protein.
