Stolzmann's Thornbill

Oreotrochilus stolzmanni

Stolzmann's Thornbill is a species of hummingbird found in the Andes of South America. It is known for its iridescent green and white plumage, with a distinctive long, slightly decurved bill. These small birds are often found in high-altitude cloud forests and paramo habitats, where they feed on nectar from flowers and small insects. They are known for their agile flight and high-pitched vocalizations. Stolzmann's Thornbill plays an important role in pollination of highland flora. Despite some habitat loss, the species is currently not considered to be at immediate risk, but ongoing monitoring of its populations is important for its long-term conservation.

Habitat: High-altitude cloud forests and paramo
