Spotted
The Veraguan Mango is an iridescent hummingbird found in specific regions of Panama and Costa Rica, characterized by its shimmering green plumage and a broad black central stripe on its underparts.
Where to spot
Endemic to a specific region stretching from western Panama into extreme southwestern Costa Rica, primarily found in lowland dry and semi-deciduous forests.
How to spot
Look for its typical mango shape and size. Identification relies heavily on its restricted geographical range and the broad black stripe on its belly. It can be elusive in dense forest.
When to spot
Active during daylight, especially visible in the mornings and late afternoons when foraging for nectar at flowering trees and shrubs.
The Veraguan Mango's name references Veraguas, a province in Panama, highlighting its localized distribution compared to some of its more widespread mango relatives, making it a specialty bird.
