[[Image:Cuban emerald.JPG]] '''Common Name:''' Cuban Emerald or Zun-zun<br> '''Scientific Name:''' Chlorostilbon ricordii '''Size:''' 3.5 - 4 inches (9-10.5 cm) '''Habitat:''' North America; endemic to Cuba and the Bahamas. It is found in a wide range of semi-open habitats; forests, coastal vegetation, and gardens. '''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global Population:''' Unknown amount of mature individuals. The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common'. '''Diet:''' Flower nectar and small insects. The Cuban emerald is bigger than its cousin, the bee hummingbird, and as a result feeds on a much larger array of blossoms. Because of this size difference, the two species have avoided competing with each other for food. '''Breeding:''' The male has a short bill with a black upper mandible and a red lower mandible with a black tip. Upper parts are dark green while under parts are shiny green with a hint of metallic blue. The under-tail coverts are white and the tail is deeply forked. The female is similar but the under parts are brownish-grey with green flanks and the tail is slightly less forked. Both sexes have a whitish spot behind the eye/ The female builds a nest in a protected location in a shrub or tree. Females lay two white eggs. '''Cool Facts:''' The Zun-zun is the national bird of Cuba. '''Included in [http://hivewire3d.com/songbird-remix-hummingbirds-of-north-america.html Songbird ReMix Hummingbirds of North America]'''
