The Bee Hummingbird of Cuba is the smallest hummingbird in the world and the smallest bird on earth. This tiny hummingbird is seen feeding at hummingbird feeders at Casa Ana in Playa Larga, which is located on the Zapata peninsula. This spectacular hummingbird is known as Zunzuncito on the island because zun zun is the sound made by its wings which beat 80 times per second.
Adrián Cobas, a private birding guide in Cuba and owner of Casa Ana Birding, hosted us in his garden for five wonderful days.

Honestly, the best place in Cuba to photograph this species and the Cuban Emerald. We missed each other by a few months. I went in April; Adrian, his wife and his family are special people helping me make lasting memories at Casa Ana. So excited you got him! Zunzuncito is one amazing hummer!

I put my feeder out back at the middle of March but didn't see any hummers until about 2wks ago and today is 5/7/23. Three days ago there were 6 hummers flying & fighting over my one feeder (it has 4 holes) anyway, all of sudden the smallest hummer I've ever seen came to my feeder. It was super small. A friend of mine was with me on my porch and said that was the smallest they had ever seen also. We could not believe how small it was!! I'm in central/east Texas. ??? I am going try get a picture but no promises, lol😊

When I first looked at the video I almost thought it was an Anna's Hummingbird because of the coloring this bee hummingbird has lots of very similar coloring to the Anna's hummingbirds but obviously allot smaller in size.

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I will have to figure out who your hosts are. (I presume that’s a B&B or something?) And 220 at this point? Amazing! I am at 6. Definitely newer to this. :) My wife takes a girls’ trip every winter, and I usually pop off on my own somewhere. I am planning a hummingbird photography trip to the Dominican Republic this year, which might expand to Curaçao and Sint Maarten as well. But I am very excited to try and find the Vervain Hummingbird, which is a close second to the Bee for the title of smallest bird. I thought about a trek to Cuba instead, but my wife has wanted to go there for a long time, and so I’ll safe that trip for a time that we can go together. But watching your videos are great food for thought. Thanks!

Congratulations!!! Definitely on my Most Wanted Bird List. If you don’t mind sharing your travel route to Cuba, it would be appreciated. Some birding tours avoid Cuba and it’s become more difficult to get a “educational visa”. With your diligence and medical background, I’m glad you found a way. Then there’s that pesky passport stamp 😊!

I have been feeling hummingbird for 4 years, the population was growing. In mid April I lost most of my guests. I live in Laguna Niguel as you know we had a record breaking rain fall and the hill side are full of blooming flowers. Do you think that the hummingbirds have a better food source, is this the reason for the decline in numbers? What are your thoughts. Thank you, Keith
@HummingbirdSpot
@HummingbirdSpot Год назад
That is exactly why you aren't seeing many hummingbirds. They are not dependent on your feeders right now because all of the rain brought tons of flowers to SoCal. Don't worry, your hummingbirds will remember where you are and they will be back!
