Glittering-bellied Emerald
Chlorostilbon lucidus
The Glittering-bellied Emerald inhabits open woodland, scrub, forest edges, and flowering gardens across parts of southern South America. It hovers at blossoms to drink nectar and also catches tiny insects for protein. Males defend feeding territories with rapid aerial chases and flashing green plumage.
