BIRDS & BIRDING IN COSTA RICA WEBSITE LINK: Scaly-breasted Hummingbird
The Scaly-breasted Hummingbird (Phaeochroa cuvierii) is a fairly giant, dull-plumaged hummingbird of humid tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge and adjoining clearings with timber, flowering bushes, and gardens. Finest subject marks are its giant measurement and massive white tail corners. Sexes look alike: boring greenish total with medium-length, straightish black invoice, dingy buffy stomach, and white spot behind eye (like many hummingbirds). Breast is vaguely mottled and never clearly scaly. (from Birds of the World)
OBSERVATION ANECDOTES
My “Lifer” Scaly-breasted Hummingbird was on the Inexperienced Hills Butterfly Ranch in Belize, however we noticed this species a number of instances within the Punta Leona space close to Carara NP and once more on the Arenal Observatory Lodge Space in Alajuela.
