White-necked Jacobin (Florisuga mellivora)

Posted on Mar 20, 2015

The White-necked Jacobin (Florisuga mellivora) is one of the most uniquely colored hummingbird species in Central America. The adult males have this beautiful blue bib that has a splendid sheen to it. They can be found in many different habitat types making it an especially interesting species to study. Photographed by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser for the Meet Your Neighbours global biodiversity project in Costa Rica while on assignment for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.
