Spotted
Isabella's Puffleg is a recently discovered and critically endangered hummingbird, recognized for its brilliant iridescent green plumage and distinctive white leg puffs. Its discovery highlights the ongoing biodiversity in remote regions.
Where to spot
Known only from a single, very restricted locality in the western Andes of Colombia, inhabiting humid montane cloud forests. Its habitat is often very specific and localized.
How to spot
Look for its vibrant green plumage and white leg puffs. Given its extreme rarity and very small known range, observing this bird requires dedicated efforts in its specific habitat and knowledge of its preferred flowers.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its extremely limited known range, active during daylight hours. Patience is often required due to its rarity and specific habitat.
Discovered only in 2007, this species highlights the ongoing biodiversity discoveries in remote regions and the urgent need for conservation before species even become widely known.
