Juan Fernández firecrown

Sephanoides fernandensis

The Juan Fernández firecrown is a species of hummingbird endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands off the coast of Chile. It is a small, vibrant bird with a distinctive fiery red throat and greenish upperparts. These birds are known for their agile flight and their ability to hover in front of flowers while feeding on nectar. They inhabit the island's forests and shrublands, and are an important pollinator for the local flora. The Juan Fernández firecrown is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss and the introduction of invasive species on the islands.
