Habitat:
The species is restricted to the interior and edges of humid and wet montane forests at 1,400-3,700 m. It does not tolerate disturbed habitats (Züchner and Boesman 2020). Habitat preferences show sex-specific differences: While males prefer openings in forest interior, females more frequently occur at forest borders (Züchner 1999 per Restall et al. 2006). The species feeds mainly on Fuchsia, bromeliads and other pendulous flowers, but also takes insects (McMullan and Donegan 2014).
Range:
The species is endemic to Colombia. It occurs in a small range in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Recent records suggest the species is also present in Serranía de Perijá (McMullan and Donegan 2014).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES II. Occurs in two protected areas, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Natural Park and the El Dorado Nature Reserve owned by Fundación ProAves.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Quantify the population size. Determine the state of all known populations and localise new populations. Ascertain its presence in the Serranía de Perijá. Monitor the population trend. Monitor rates of habitat loss and range contractions. Investigate the impacts of climate change on the population and distribution range and project potential range shifts. If confirmed in the Serranía de Perijá, urgently protect suitable habitat.
