Green-throated Carib

Description:

This stunning hummingbird has an average size around 4.1 - 4.7 inches (10.5-12 cm) - including tail and bill. The bill and feet are black. The bill is slightly down-curved. The female is longer billed and her bill is more down-curved than the male's. The adult male has a mostly green coppery upper plumage with a blue iridescence on the upper back and rump. He has a bright green throat patch bordered by a metallic blue followed by the black abdomen. The blue band can only be seen in ideal light conditions, appearing black in less than optimal light conditions. The adult female looks similar to the male, but her upper plumage is a duller green. Her tail feathers are dark blue, sometimes appearing black.

Habitat:

Sitting in a tree near the "Derek Walcott Square" park, Castries.
