The Planalto Hermit is a medium-sized hermit hummingbird endemic to the cerrado and caatinga biomes of Brazil. Unlike many of its relatives, it is adapted to drier, more open habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to central and eastern Brazil, primarily in cerrado woodlands, gallery forests, and caatinga shrublands.
How to spot
Look for it in more open woodland settings, often near flowering shrubs or cacti. Its calls are distinctive and can help in locating it. Observe its behavior of visiting dispersed flowers on a circuit.
When to spot
Active throughout the year, with increased visibility during the flowering season of local plants. Most active during the cooler parts of the day.
