The Southern Blossomcrown is a diminutive hummingbird, closely related to the Northern Blossomcrown, distinguished by its unique crown coloration. It is a highly localized species within the Andean region.
Where to spot
Endemic to the eastern Andes of Colombia, typically inhabiting humid montane forests and their borders, generally found at elevations similar to its northern counterpart.
How to spot
Focus on forest edges, clearings, and areas with dense flowering vegetation in humid Andean forests. Binoculars are essential to appreciate the subtle differences in their iridescent crown patterns. Listen for their high-pitched, insect-like calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year in its specific high-altitude range. Observing them early in the day when they are most active can be productive.
Like many hummingbirds, the Southern Blossomcrown feeds primarily on nectar but also supplements its diet with small insects caught in flight, providing essential protein.
