Field Notes

Description:

With a total length of 15–17 cm, nearly half of which is made up by the tail, this is the largest species of typical hummingbird. It is known by its long, deeply forked, somewhat swallow-like tail.

Habitat:

Semi-open atlantic coastal region

Notes:

This bird is probably a male since there was another Hummingbird flying around and it seems that they were fighting for the best spot
