Eutoxeres aquila

Least Concern

About

El pico de hoz de puntas blancas es un gran colibrí ermitaño de los bosques húmedos de América Central y el noroeste de América del Sur, con un pico dramáticamente curvado en forma de hoz, perfectamente adaptado para extraer néctar de las flores fuertemente curvas de las plantas Heliconia — un ejemplo clásico de coevolución planta-polinizador. Recorre rutas sistemáticas por el denso bosque húmedo, visitando los mismos parches de flores diariamente. Ambos sexos comparten el pico en forma de hoz y emiten cantos persistentes y repetitivos desde el sotobosque forestal.
