Green-throated Carib

Eulampis holosericeus

The Green-throated Carib is a medium-sized hummingbird found in the Caribbean. It has iridescent green plumage on its upperparts and a vibrant green throat, which gives it its name. The species is known for its agile flight and its long, slender bill adapted for feeding on nectar from flowers. Green-throated Caribs play an important role in pollination within their island habitats. They are often observed in gardens, forest edges, and coastal areas, where they feed on nectar and small insects. The species is known for its distinctive vocalizations, including sharp chirps and whistles.

Habitat: Gardens, forest edges, coastal areas
