The Northern Blossomcrown is a tiny, delicate hummingbird admired for its striking, multicolored crown patch. This species is an agile feeder, often visiting small flowers.
Where to spot
Typically found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in Colombia and western Venezuela, at elevations between 800 and 2,000 meters.
How to spot
Search for them in the understory and mid-story of humid forests, along forest edges, and in shaded ravines. Look for small, darting birds visiting flowers of shrubs and low trees. Their minute size can make them challenging to spot.
When to spot
Active year-round within its range, with observation opportunities throughout the day. They are often most visible during peak flowering seasons.
