How to spot
Search for it at flowering trees and shrubs in forest edges, clearings, and gardens. It often perches conspicuously on exposed branches. Pay attention to its tail during hovering and flight.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its native habitat. Look for it during daylight hours, especially in the cooler parts of the day.
