Spotted
The Perijá Starfrontlet is a striking hummingbird endemic to the isolated cloud forests of the Serranía del Perijá, on the border between Colombia and Venezuela. It's known for its iridescent green plumage and localized distribution.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Serranía del Perijá mountain range, on the border of northeastern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela. Typically found at elevations between 2,400 to 3,200 meters (7,900 to 10,500 feet).
How to spot
Observing this bird requires visiting its specific, often remote, montane habitat. Look for it around flowering plants and trees in forest clearings or at edges. Patience and local knowledge are key due to its restricted range.
When to spot
Active throughout the daylight hours, especially in the cooler parts of the day when foraging is most intense. It is a resident species in its specific habitat.
This species is a prime example of an endemic bird, meaning it is found naturally in only one specific geographical area, making its conservation particularly important due to its restricted range.
