The Green-throated Mango Hummingbird is usually found in mangrove swamps especially in Caroni. I have spent most of my birding years in the rainforest habitat of Trinidad, making occasional trips to other habitats on the island. Hence, I have only gotten mere glimpses of this species.
It is just about 5 inches in length. The male Green-throated mango is overall green in color, with a black line on his chest, and a purple tail. The female of this species is very similar to the Black-throated Mango, I read it’s hard to tell them apart.
This is one species that I have hardly ever seen perched.
