A small, distinctive hummingbird, the White-throated Sicklebill is notable for its slightly decurved bill and striking white throat patch. It inhabits humid montane forests, often found among dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests of the Andes, primarily in Colombia and northern Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for it quietly foraging in the forest understory or mid-story, often visiting small, bell-shaped flowers. Its small size, slightly decurved bill, and white throat patch are key identification marks.
When to spot
Year-round, during daylight hours. Early mornings are often best when activity is high.
