FIERY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD (Panterpe insignis) ©BirdQuest-Tours.com
Fiery-throated Hummingbird is a sometimes abundant regional endemic in the Cerro de la Muerte highlands of Costa Rica and Western Panama. It is one of the 16 regional endemic hummingbirds seen in the area
The food of this species is nectar, taken from a variety of small flowers, including epiphytic Ericaceae and bromeliads. Like other hummingbirds it also takes small insects as an essential source of protein.
Male Fiery-throated Hummingbird defend flowers and scrubs in their feeding territories, and are dominant over most other hummingbirds. They will, however, allow females to share their food resources.
