The Tapajos Hermit is a rather elusive hummingbird found in a restricted range within the Amazon basin. It is known for its subtly marked plumage, which provides excellent camouflage in the dense forest understory.
Where to spot
Endemic to a specific region in central Brazil, primarily along the lower Tapajos River, in humid lowland forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Patience is key due to its restricted range and preference for dense undergrowth. Look for its typical hermit shape and behavior near flowering plants in its specific habitat. Its calls can also aid in detection.
When to spot
Like most hermits, it is active throughout the day, particularly during early morning and late afternoon when foraging for nectar.
