The Green-crowned brilliant (Heliodoxa jacula) is a stunning hummingbird species that can be found in various locations across Central and South America. With its vibrant green crown and iridescent plumage, it is truly a sight to behold. One of their favorite feeding spots is the Lobster-claw flower (Heliconia), where you can often spot three of these beautiful birds indulging in nectar. Their long beaks perfectly match the shape of the Torch ginger flower (Etlingera elatior) as they visit Poas Volcano National Park in Costa Rica. Ecuador also serves as a home for these magnificent creatures, with pairs of Green-crowned brilliants gracefully fluttering around. In Monteverde National Park, Costa Rica, you may witness the mesmerizing flight of the Green-crowned brilliant hummingbird alongside the White-throated Mountain Gem (Lampornis castaneoventris). Their love for Torch ginger flowers knows no bounds, as they continue to visit them at Poas Volcano National Park in Costa Rica and Mashpi Cloud Forest Reserve in Ecuador. These tiny avian wonders are not shy about visiting gardens either, with males taking off from feeders to satisfy their hunger. In Caribbean Costa Rica, you can catch glimpses of these agile birds feeding on nectar while enjoying breathtaking views. Whether alone or paired up with another brilliant bird companion, Heliodoxa jacula never fails to captivate with its beauty and grace. So next time you find yourself exploring nature's wonders in Central or South America, keep an eye out for this dazzling creature - the Green-crowned brilliant will surely leave you awe-inspired by its presence.
