The White-necked Jacobin is a striking medium-sized hummingbird, easily recognized by the male's iridescent blue head and brilliant white belly and tail. Females are less vibrantly colored, often with green backs and speckled undersides.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Brazil. They inhabit forest edges, clearings, open woodlands, and often visit gardens and feeders.
How to spot
Look for them actively foraging at flowers or at hummingbird feeders. The male's white belly and tail are unmistakable. Females can be identified by their overall green plumage and spotted throat, coupled with their jacobin-like shape and flight.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, regularly visiting flowers and feeders. They are year-round residents in their tropical range.
