Comment
The Zunzún is the smallest hummingbird in the world, also known as "Pájaro Mosca" (fly bird), at only 63 mm (2 1/2"). Its name comes from the sound of its wings when flying.There are about 300 species of hummingbirds in Cuba, and despite the Zunzún being not scarce, it is hard to come by because it lives deep in the forest and usually avoids contact with humans.
