A vibrant hummingbird, closely related to Rivoli's Hummingbird, distinguished by its brilliant plumage, often with a blue-violet crown and green throat. It's a true spectacle.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and forest edges at high elevations in Costa Rica and western Panama.
How to spot
Similar to Rivoli's but look for subtle differences in the coloration of the crown (more blue-violet) and throat. It often perches prominently, allowing for good observation.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, frequently visiting feeders or foraging at various flowering plants in its humid montane habitat.
