Hook-billed Hermit

Glaucis dohrnii

Vulnerable

The Hook-billed Hermit is a nectar-feeding hummingbird of Central America and northern South America. It also takes tiny insects and spiders for protein, using fast hovering flight, rapid wingbeats, and a long bill to work flowers and defend feeding areas. It is conservation-sensitive, with habitat loss or restricted range making local populations important.
