Speckled Hummingbird

A medium-sized hummingbird with speckled or spotted underparts — unusual among hummingbirds dominated by plain or iridescent plumages — speckled hummingbirds inhabit cloud forest and forest edges in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia at elevations of 900–3,000 meters. The spotted underpart pattern provides remarkable camouflage when the bird perches on lichen-covered bark. They forage on nectar and small arthropods and are important pollinators of Andean epiphytes.

Staphylococcus caprae is a coagulase-negative gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, originally isolated from goats (Capra hircus). It is part of the commensal microbiota of goats and has occasionally been isolated from human clinical samples. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
