The Dusky-throated Hermit is a small hummingbird endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. It is characterized by its relatively subdued plumage, which helps it blend into the dappled light of its preferred forest understory habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to southeastern Brazil, typically found in humid primary and secondary forests, forest edges, and even shaded plantations.
How to spot
Look for its short, dusky throat and lack of prominent white tail tips. It often forages low to the ground in dense vegetation. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls and rapid wing beats.
When to spot
Active year-round, most visible during early morning and late afternoon when foraging. Breeding season activities may also increase visibility.
