Grey-chinned hermit
The grey-chinned hermit (Phaethornis griseogularis) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and – marginally – far northern Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and heavily degraded former forest. This is not a quiet species, where it will often sing and have audible wing noises.
They tend to sing the most in early mornings and afternoons – with males singing a ‘warbling’ tune described as a «tzz, weeh-weeh-tzee-dee» with their bills upright and open and wagging their tails. Often forming leks, these males will distribute themselves in a way to make sure they can hear the other males, but not see them. They defend these territories that they keep.
They feed via traplining and have a diet consisting of arthropods and nectar.
