Hummingbird Species

Did you know that there are up to 330 species of hummingbirds? This bird guide includes all hummingbird species in Costa Rica. On the back of the field guide, you'll find an illustration with anatomical labels of the hummingbird and various fun facts about this remarkable bird.

Hummingbirds belong to the Trochilidae family. Despite their small size, they have the ability to hover in the air and maneuver with unparalleled agility. Combined with their dazzling colors, these birds are considered extraordinary and unique.

These minuscule birds primarily feed on nectar from flowers, and their long bills are adapted to reach deep into blossoms to extract the sweet liquid. While feeding, they unintentionally pollinate flowers, playing a crucial role in the reproductive process of many plant species.
