Where to spot
Primarily found in humid lowland forests and forest edges in certain South American regions, often near clearings and streams.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive blue cap. Its rapid wingbeats can make it a blur, so patience is key for a clear view, especially when it hovers to feed.
