The Green-tailed Goldenthroat is a striking hummingbird distinguished by its overall green plumage, including a particularly prominent green tail. It is often found in humid environments, displaying agile and rapid flight.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical and subtropical lowlands of South America, typically in forest edges, clearings, and plantations, often near water bodies.
How to spot
Look for its rapid, darting flight near flowering trees and shrubs. Its entirely green appearance, including the tail, helps distinguish it from similar species. Also listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when it is most actively foraging for nectar.
