Stripe-throated Hermit

A small hermit hummingbird of humid forest understory from southern Mexico through Central America to northern South America, stripe-throated hermits have green upper parts with a distinctive white-striped face and a curved bill adapted for Heliconia and ginger flowers. They follow fixed trap-line nectar routes through dense forest. Males aggregate at leks where they sing persistent repetitive songs to attract females. They are important pollinators of understory Heliconia and Costus plants across their range.
