The Golden-bellied Emerald is a dazzling hummingbird noted for its brilliant golden-orange belly contrasting with its green upperparts. It is a true jewel of the Neotropical forests.
Where to spot
Typically inhabits humid forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas with flowering plants in specific South American regions.
How to spot
Look for the distinctive golden belly, especially when it hovers or perches. Its rapid flight makes it challenging to follow, so find a good vantage point near flowers.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly at flowering shrubs and trees. Observable year-round within its native range.
