Spotted
The Hoary Puffleg is a rare and localized hummingbird, known for its dusky plumage and prominent white leg puffs. Its range is restricted to specific cloud forest habitats, making it a special sighting.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very specific and limited area within the western Andes of Colombia, inhabiting humid montane and cloud forests. It prefers dense, mossy areas.
How to spot
Look for its overall dark, dusky appearance combined with the striking white leg puffs. Due to its rarity and preference for dense forest, patience and quiet observation are key for a successful sighting.
When to spot
Active year-round within its restricted range, foraging for nectar and small insects. Best observed during daylight hours when it is most active.
This species is classified as Endangered due to its small and fragmented population, making it a priority for conservation efforts in its limited Andean range.
