The American Pygmy Kingfisher (Chloroceryle aenea) is one of Tobago’s tiniest and most colourful birds, known for its emerald green feathers and bright orange chest. Measuring just 5 inches long, it quietly hunts near calm waters like Bon Accord Lagoon, Adventure Farm, and the Main Ridge Forest Reserve.

Rare and secretive, it’s a hidden gem for birdwatchers exploring Tobago’s rich wetlands, a living symbol of the island’s vibrant biodiversity.
