Spotted
A striking hummingbird known for its exceptionally long, straight bill and iridescent blue forehead. It is a denizen of humid montane forests, often seen darting among understory vegetation.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and forest edges in the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia. Also found in parts of Central America (e.g., Costa Rica, Panama).
How to spot
Look for it foraging solitarily or in small groups on tall flowers with deep corollas. Its distinctive bill and shimmering blue cap are key identification features. Listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round, primarily during daylight hours when flowers are blooming. Most active in the morning and late afternoon.

Its remarkably long, needle-like bill is specially adapted for probing into deep flowers, allowing it to access nectar that other hummingbirds cannot reach.
