The Bronzy Hermit is a medium-sized hermit hummingbird, recognized by its relatively straight bill and iridescent bronzy-green plumage, particularly on its back and wings. It displays typical hermit traits like a long tail with white tips.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central America and northwestern South America. It prefers humid lowland and foothill forests, often near streams or wet areas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive bronzy sheen on the back and its relatively straight bill as it hovers or perches low within the forest undergrowth. Listen for its typical hermit calls and watch for its pendulum-like feeding flight.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging in the understory of its forest habitat. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

Like many hermits, the Bronzy Hermit often engages in 'traplining,' where it follows a regular route visiting a sequence of flowers to efficiently collect nectar.
