Green Hermit

A large hermit hummingbird of humid rainforest in Central America and the northern Andes, green hermits are named for the males' predominantly green plumage — unusual among hermits which are generally brown and buff. Females have blue-green upper parts and rufous underparts. Found from Costa Rica to Peru and Venezuela at elevations up to 1,600 meters in forest understory. They are important pollinators of large Heliconia and Calathea flowers along the forest floor, following established trap-line routes.
