the fiery-throated hummingbird ( panterpe insignis ) is a medium-sized hummingbird which breeds only in the mountains of costa rica and western panama .

it is the only member of the genus panterpe .

this is a common to abundant bird of montane forest canopy above 1400 m , and also occurs in scrub at the woodland edges and clearings .

this bird is 11 cm long and weighs 5.7 g .

it has a straight black bill and dusky feet .

the adult fiery-throated hummingbird has shiny green body plumage , a blue tail , and a white spot behind the eye .

it often looks dark , but when the light catches it at the right angle , it shows a brilliant blue crown , yellow-bordered bright orange throat , and blue chest patch .

the sexes are similar , but young birds have rufous fringes to the head plumage .

the call is a high-pitched twittering .

the female fiery-throated hummingbird is entirely responsible for nest building and incubation .

she lays two white eggs in a bulky plant-fibre cup nest 2 – 4 m high at the end of a descending bamboo stem or on a rootlet under a bank .

incubation takes 15 – 19 days , and fledging another 20-26 .

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 hummingbirds 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 .

fiery - throated hummingbird

the fiery - throated hummingbird ( panterpe insignis ) - also known as irazu hummingbird - is a common , medium - sized hummingbird that occurs naturally in in the mountains of costa rica and western panama .
the fiery - throated hummingbird averages 11 cm or 4 . 3 inches in length and weighs about 5 . 7 g or 0 . 2 oz . it has a straight black bill and dusky - colored feet .
the fiery - throated hummingbirds primarily feed on nectar taken from a variety of brightly colored , scented small flowers of trees , herbs , shrubs and epiphytes , ericaceae and bromeliads .
the adult fiery - throated hummingbird has iridescent green body plumage , a dark blue tail , and a white spot behind each eye . it has a brilliant blue crown , yellow - bordered coppery orange throat , and blue chest patch . its sides and the back of the head are velvety black .

hummingbird was perched about 8 m from us . i merged two recordings of the same bird taken about 1 minute apart . recording was normalized to - 3 db .
the female fiery - throated hummingbird is responsible for building the bulky cup - shaped nest out of plant fibers woven together and green moss on the outside for camouflage in a protected location , typically about 2 - 4 m high at the end of a descending bamboo stem or on a rootlet under a bank . she lines the nest with soft plant fibers , animal hair and feather down , and strengthens the structure with spider webbing and other sticky material , giving it an elastic quality to allow it to stretch to double its size as the chicks grow and need more room . the nest is typically found on a low , thin horizontal branch .
first capture of a hummingbird . taken near kilometer 70 on the cerro de la muerte in central costa rica at paraiso de quetzal in june 2011 . these large hummingbirds were mobbing the feeders along with magnificent hummingbirds
they may also visit local hummingbird feeders for some sugar water , or drink out of bird baths or water fountains where they will either hover and sip water as it runs over the edge ; or they will perch on the edge and drink - like all the other birds ; however , they only remain still for a short moment .

justification : although this species may have a small range , it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend is not known , but the population is not believed to be decreasing sufficiently rapidly to approach the thresholds under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) .

found in north - central costa rica ( cordillera de tilarán ) , south to extreme western panama .
both males and females look alike . immature birds have rufous - colored fringes to their head feathers .
hummingbirds are named after the humming sound made by the beat of their wings . their wings make up to 100 beats per second , moving so rapidly that the naked eye cannot detect them . they are the only birds that can generate power on both the forward and backward wing strokes , which makes backward fly possible .
hummingbirds are solitary in all aspects of life other than breeding ; and the male ' s only involvement in the reproductive process is the actual mating with the female . they neither live nor migrate in flocks ; and there is no pair bond for this species . males court females by flying in a u - shaped pattern in front of them . he will separate from the female immediately after copulation . one male may mate with several females . in all likelihood , the female will also mate with several males . the males do not participate in choosing the nest location , building the nest or raising the chicks .
the average clutch consists of 2 white eggs , each being about the size of a coffee bean . the female alone incubates ( broods ) the eggs for about 15 - 19 days . during this time , the male continues to defend his territory and the flowers he feeds on . the female is also the only one that protects and feeds the chicks with regurgitated food ( mostly insects since nectar is an insufficient source of protein for the growing chicks ) . as is the case with other hummingbirds , the chicks are only brooded for the first week or two . after about 12 days , the young are left alone even on cooler nights - probably due to the small nest size . the young leave the nest when they are about 20 - 26 days old .
they favor flowers with the highest sugar content ( often red - colored and tubular - shaped ) and seek out , and aggressively protect , those areas containing flowers with high energy nectar . they use their long , extendible , straw - like tongues to retrieve the nectar while hovering with their tails cocked upward as they are licking at the nectar up to 13 times per second . sometimes they may be seen hanging on the flower while feeding .
many native and cultivated plants on whose flowers these birds feed heavily rely on them for pollination . the mostly tubular - shaped flowers actually exclude most bees and butterflies from feeding on them and , subsequently , from pollinating the plants .
they also take some small spiders and insects - important sources of protein particularly needed during the breeding season to ensure the proper development of their young . insects are often caught in flight ( hawking ) ; snatched off leaves or branches , or are taken from spider webs . a nesting female can capture up to 2 , 000 insects a day .
males establish feeding territories , where they aggressively chase away other males as well as large insects - such as bumblebees and hawk moths - that want to feed in their territory . they use aerial flights and intimidating displays to defend their territories .
males are fiercely territorial . aerial battles between males are frequently observed and are usually very entertaining to the observer . even though males will defend the flowers and scrubs in their feeding territories against other male hummingbirds ; they usually tolerate females .

the chestnut-throated seedeater ( sporophila telasco ) is neotropical songbird in the family thraupidae .

it is found in along the western seaboard of south america , from southwestern colombia to far northern chile .

the natural habitats of the chestnut-throated seedeater are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland , subtropical or tropical moist shrubland , swamps , sandy shores , and heavily degraded former forest along the pacific coast and montane uplands of western south america , primarily ecuador , peru and chile .

the species serves as an indicator of declining forest health , as their populations appear to increase following deforestation and land use change .

these songbirds are among the smallest members of the tanager family at approximately 4.0 inches in length , and possess powerful bills to harvest grass seeds .

. the breeding male chestnut - throated seedeater has bluish gray upperparts . the throat is chestnut with white on the rest of the underparts . the bill is black . the female has brown upperparts streaked and mottled with dusky . the underparts are brownish with faint brown streaking on the breast . the non - breeding male has a dull plumage with little chestnut on the throat and brown bill . the juvenile and the female in fresh plumage have warm brown to buff shades on the breast and back . both sexes show a white wing speculum . it forages in open areas with scattered shrubs as well in grasslands , fallow agricultural fields , and river edges . it is similar to the
this seedeater is a relatively unusual looking for a seedeater , and one that is restricted to the arid pacific slope from southernmost colombia to northernmost chile . this is not a species of the desert , but it does well in arid areas where there is shrubbery or a moister riparian area or irrigated farmland . likely its distribution and abundance has increased through the aid of humans , as it does well in agricultural landscapes that are taking over from desert habitats . the male has a few oddities in plumage for a seedeater , it is streaked above which is unusual , it also has a very dark chestnut throat patch , restricted to a small area of the chin and throat . one local name in chile is “corbatita” meaning little tie , as if it wears a little chestnut tie on a white shirt . the rest of the underparts are white . otherwise above it is grayish , including the face , and it has a big bold white wing stripe . females are more distinctive than that of typical seedeaters as they show a trace of the wing stripe , and some may look moderately streaked above . this seedeater has a relatively large and rounded bill , although it is clearly smaller billed than the parrot - billed seedeater . that rather different species may in fact be the chestnut - throated’s closest relative . this seedeater breeds in the rainy season , where there is one , taking advantage of new grass and its seeds as a food source for the young .

breeding : this seedeater breeds in the rainy season , where there is one , taking advantage of new grass and its seeds as a food source for the young .
10–10·5 cm ; two males 8·4 g and 10·9 g . typical seedeater , tiny and with thick bill approximately as long as it is deep , with distinct rounded . . .
males possess a rich chestnut patch on the throat in breeding season , while females share a similar color pattern , but lack the throat patch , with a lighter bill , but moult into drab plumage outside of the breeding season . this occurs because the cost of predator attracting , colorful plumage is no longer worth taking when breeding activities are completed . these songbirds are among the smallest members of the tanager family at approximately 4 . 0 inches in length , and possess powerful bills to harvest grass seeds .
combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be increasing , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km 2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be increasing , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as fairly common ( restall 2006 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat .

national inventory of natural heritage , website : https : / / inpn . mnhn . fr .
the data comes from archaeological sites , essentially directly related to human activity . species presence can have a varied origin : food leftovers ( farming , hunting , fishing or harvesting ) ; crafts ( working shell , horn , but also bones preserved inside prepared skin , etc . . . ) with the possibility of interaction between human group ; commensal anthropophilic species ( rat , mouse , sparrow , cockroach ) ; or accidentally present species .
do not be surprised to find cod or mackerel in paris in the late middle ages ( 14th - 15th c . ) . . . the sea did not come that far , but trade did .
in compliance with laws and intellectual property practices in the scientific world , unpublished data under five years ( from excavation reports , analyses , but also academia ) is never communicated .
the dots represent the sites for which a study ( or a simple recording ) of fauna and / or flora was performed ; these sites were recorded in the database zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical inventories of france ( i2af ) . the lack of dots can mean both a lack of data and / or lack of recording .
the dots remain gray when the selected species is absent from the site . symbols of different colour mark the presence of the species in different periods .
to select / deselect one or more periods or to remove the dots corresponding to the listed sites , check / uncheck in the right side .
hovering a dot reveals in the left corner at the bottom of the map , the name of the department or municipality . one click enables the list of sites present on the municipality .
the selection of a site opens a new page that displays general information relating thereto ( other name ( s ) known , location . . . ) , the bibliographical reference ( s ) connected to the species , and a summary of plant and animal species identified per large time period .
a timeline summarizes all known information on the species . the relevant periods or sub - periods when the detail is known , are highlighted in red . tool tip : passing over a period ( palaeolithic for example ) displays the date range of the period .
access to more detailed information is accessible only by convention , after login , for scientists affiliated to groups or institutional programs ( national center of scientific research , national institute of preventive archaeological research , for example ) or associations ( international council for archaeozoology , for example ) .
warning : the data available reflects the progression status of knowledge or the availability of the inventories . it should never be considered as comprehensive .
