Spotted
A small, critically endangered hummingbird endemic to Honduras, distinguished by its iridescent emerald green plumage and contrasting white undertail coverts. It is a highly localized species, restricted to specific dry forest habitats.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in arid and semi-arid thorn forests and dry scrublands of central and southern Honduras. Its range is highly fragmented, making it one of the most geographically restricted hummingbirds.
How to spot
Due to its rarity and restricted range, observation is difficult and requires visiting specific protected areas in Honduras. Look for its emerald green body and white undertail coverts, noting its distinctive flight pattern and calls within its unique habitat.
When to spot
A resident species in its very limited range, observable year-round during daylight hours. Its activity patterns may be tied to the blooming of specific dry forest plants that provide its nectar source.
