The Golden-crowned Emerald Hummingbird is an exquisite species found in the coniferous forests of western North America. Its range extends from Alaska to Mexico, and it is particularly fond of the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest. The hummingbird's diet consists of small insects, nectar, and sap, which it collects with its long, slender bill. It has an energetic and inquisitive behavior that makes it a delight to observe.
