July 20, 2017 - Purple-throated Carib (Eulampis jugularis)
These hummingbirds are found only in the Lesser Antilles. They eat nectar from native and introduced plants. Females build small cup-shaped nests on vertical tree branches. While males and females have similar plumage, the males are larger and more aggressive. They maintain smaller territories with a high concentration of flowers, while females defend larger territories with a lower flower density.
