Spotted
The Mangrove Hummingbird is a unique and highly specialized hummingbird species, primarily found in restricted coastal mangrove habitats. Its survival is closely tied to these vulnerable ecosystems.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in mangrove forests and associated coastal vegetation within its highly restricted native range, particularly in Costa Rica.
How to spot
Look for it flying among mangrove trees. Its presence can indicate a healthy mangrove ecosystem. Patience and binoculars are essential for spotting this elusive species in its dense habitat.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen visiting mangrove flowers for nectar. Best observed during periods of high tide when some areas become more accessible.
This species is one of the few hummingbirds specifically adapted to forage almost exclusively within mangrove ecosystems, relying on their unique flowering plants.
