White-necked Jacobin at Moyobamba

Moyobamba, the self-styled "orchid city" of Peru's San Martín region, sits at the meeting point of Andean foothills & Amazonian lowlands, making it a superb base for hummingbird photography. The White-necked Jacobin is among roughly 20 hummingbird species drawn to the feeder stations & gardens of Waqanki Lodge on the town's outskirts, offering close & reliable opportunities in January. Visitors travelling with Peru's Ultimate Hummingbirds will find this striking, white-collared species a regular & cooperative subject against the lush lodge surroundings.
