This comparatively large hummingbird, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, is easily identified within its range by virtue of it being the only larger, predominantly green and gray-plumaged hermit, with a rather long, decurved, bill. The Scale-throated Hermit inhabits the understory of both lowland and highland forests, as well as old second growth, from southeast Brazil (as far north as southern Bahia) to eastern Paraguay and northeast Argentina, and is recorded at 2250 m at least. It feeds, like most hermit hummingbirds, by trap-lining, although some arthropods are also taken, and the species will periodically also visit feeders to take ‘artificial’ nectar. This hermit is tolerably common in most parts of its range. This is the subspecies Phaethornis eurynome eurynome - Distribution SE Brazil (SE Bahia S to Rio Grande do Sul).
Although it is not as colorful as the other hummingbirds who are always around the feeder, this is a very unique species. It's bigger than the majority of the others but it never enters into a fight with the other species. The way it flights looks like a dance. This is one of my favorites.
Wishing everyone a peaceful Tuesday!

Sombre hummingbird - one of the things I do love to see is hummingbirds taking quick naps. It's so cool. At Trilha dos Tucanos.
The Sombre Hummingbird is a large, dull hummingbird of eastern Brazil. It has a rather heavy, slightly decurved black bill, rather broad wings, and a large tail, features which have justified placement in the genus Campylopterus (sabrewings) in the past. It is dull iridescent green above and dusky below, with a very small white postocular spot. It inhabits forest edge and understory, where it feeds on nectar and aerial arthropods. Its nest is a cup of plant material placed on a horizontal branch. Birds of the World.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and restful weekend!

After weeks of heat waves, finally we got some fresh air... welcome autumn for us in the South and welcome spring for the folks of the North!
This species is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. It regularly visits feeders in small numbers. Both sexes of this hummingbird are attractive and distinctive. Males are primarily clad in deep green, with a brilliant deep red throat patch, a small but obvious white postocular spot, browner wings, and a bright red tail, while females share the spot behind the eye and the tail color of the male, but are otherwise rich orange over the entire underparts and on the rump. Picture taken at Sítio Macuquinho - São Paulo.
