Unless you want to climb into the mountain forests to see this beautiful bird, then i recommend you visit the bontanical gardens in Santo Domingo, the capital, where they are very common all along the pathways; they are easily distinguished from the also common vervain hummingbird by the bright metallic green plumage. This is a species that has to be  a must on anyones list when they visit this island.
