The Stripe-throated Hermit is a widely distributed and relatively small hermit hummingbird known for the subtle streaking on its throat. It is a common species across much of its range in Central and South America.
Where to spot
Widespread from southern Mexico through Central America to northern Colombia and Venezuela, inhabiting humid and semi-deciduous forests, forest edges, and coffee plantations.
How to spot
Look for the subtle pale streaking on its dusky throat and its relatively small size. It often forages low, moving swiftly between flowers. Listening for its distinctive high-pitched calls can also aid in detection.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen foraging on flowers along forest edges and trails. Most visible in the cooler parts of the day.
