About

O beija-flor-de-nuca-branca (Florisuga mellivora) é um grande beija-flor vistosamente marcado de florestas úmidas de planícies e pé de serra, do sul do México pela América Central até a Amazônia ocidental. Os machos têm cabeça azul-escura brilhante, peito branco vivo e cauda com pontas brancas, criando um marcante contraste monocromático. As fêmeas mostram incomum polimorfismo de plumagem — algumas se parecem com machos, adaptação que se acredita reduzir o assédio masculino. São especialistas de borda de mata e dosel, alimentando-se em árvores em flor e epífitas.
