Long-billed Hermit. Rio Santiago Nature Lodge, Honduras<\/p><\/div>\n

I have never seen a Long-billed Hermit perched. Never. I have seen them flying in the rain-forest. I have heard them calling, presumably from a perch, in dense foliage, and I have seen them at feeders at the Lodge at Pico Bonito and Rio Santiago Nature Lodge, but once they\u00a0left the feeder, I could not track them to their perch. Therefore I had to resort to feeder shots at the Rio Santiago Nature Lodge for my pics. This is a big hummer…and I did not even catch the full length of the tail. If you look closely you will see that 1\/3 of the long bill is inside the feeder tube.<\/p>\n

Nikon P900 at 700mm equivalent field of view. Shutter preferred. 1\/400th @ ISO 100 @ f5.6. Processed in Lightroom.<\/p>\n
