A vibrant medium-sized hummingbird known for its distinctive tail pattern. Males display iridescent green plumage and a unique striped tail, while females are duller with less pronounced markings.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests of southern Mexico and northern Central America. Look for it in clearings, forest edges, and coffee plantations.
How to spot
Look for its rapid flight near flowering plants. Its distinctive tail in males helps identification. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls often made from a prominent perch.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during daylight hours. Early mornings and late afternoons are often best for viewing when they are most actively feeding.
