Binden-Zwergschattenkolibri

A small, inconspicuous hermit hummingbird of dry and humid forests in the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia, gray-chinned hermits have brownish upper parts, grey chin, and pale buff underparts with a white-tipped central tail — a subtle palette compared to many hummingbirds. They inhabit forest understorey and shrubby forest edge at elevations of 300–1,600 meters, following systematic trap-line routes to visit flowering plants. Males gather at leks to attract females through persistent vocalization.

Streifenkehl-Schattenkolibri

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.
