Spotted
The White-bellied Woodstar is a petite and vibrant hummingbird native to the high-altitude Andean cloud forests. Males are striking with an iridescent green gorget and distinctive tail feathers.
Where to spot
Inhabits cloud forests, forest edges, and clearings, often at higher elevations (typically 1,000-3,000 meters). Its range extends along the Andes from Venezuela, through Colombia and Ecuador, to northern Peru.
How to spot
Look for its small size and rapid, erratic flight patterns. Males have a bright green gorget and distinctively shaped outer tail feathers. They often feed at small, bell-shaped flowers or perch quietly on exposed branches for brief periods.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, with peak feeding activity during the cooler hours of morning and late afternoon. It is a year-round resident within its montane habitat.

Despite their diminutive size and delicate appearance, White-bellied Woodstars are remarkably agile fliers, capable of executing complex aerial maneuvers while foraging or displaying in their dense forest habitats.
