Wedge-billed Hummingbird

A tiny, inconspicuous hummingbird of humid forests and forest edges in the Andes and northern South America, wedge-billed hummingbirds have a distinctive short, wedge-shaped bill adapted to short-tubed flowers of the Heliconia genus. They inhabit elevations from lowland to 2,400 meters, often foraging in the understory of dense cloud forest. Males have subtle green and bronze-green iridescent plumage. They frequently hover in the shade of the forest floor, making them difficult to observe.
