Short-tailed Pygmy Tyrant
The short-tailed pygmy tyrant (''Myiornis ecaudatus'') is a small species of tyrant-flycatcher. The species is one of the smallest birds on Earth and the smallest passerine. Among both the family and the order, only the closely related black-capped pygmy tyrant approaches similarly diminutive sizes. The pygmy tyrant is widespread throughout most of the Amazon in northern and central South America. Habitat A resident of tall humid forests, the bird is occasionally found in more open woodland, specifically around treefalls and tall trees in clearings. It ranges from sea-level to . It is fairly common throughout most of its range, but is easily overlooked, in part due to its insect- or frog-like voice. Description The short-tailed pygmy tyrant is truly a pygmy of a bird, with only a handful of the smallest hummingbirds measuring smaller. The average length is and the weight averages at . While the bill (though slender) is disproportionately large for the size of the bird, the ta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tyrannidae
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors).

Eared Pygmy Tyrant
The eared pygmy tyrant (''Myiornis auricularis'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Brazil, Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. Its natural habitat In ecology, the term habitat summarises the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species. A species habitat can be seen as the physical ...s are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and heavily degraded former forest. The birds are usually found in humid forest and at edges, from sea level to 1200 m, and looking for food in lower growth or the midstory. Their main source of food is insects and their nests are usually found quite low above the ground, shaped like a purse, with a side entrance.

Black-capped Pygmy Tyrant
The black-capped pygmy tyrant (''Myiornis atricapillus'') is the smallest passerine bird in its range, though larger than its cousin, the short-tailed pygmy tyrant. This tyrant flycatcher occurs from Costa Rica to north-western Ecuador. It is a species of the forest canopy, coming lower at edges and clearings, and in second growth and semi-open woodland. It occurs up to an altitude of 900 m. It is fairly common, except in arid areas. In Costa Rica and most of Panama it is restricted to the Caribbean lowlands, while essentially restricted to the humid parts of the Chocó further south. The female builds a 15 cm long pouch nest with a round side entrance, which is suspended from a thin branch 1–7 m high in a tree. The female incubates the two brown-blotched white eggs for 15–16 days to hatching. The black-capped pygmy tyrant is a tiny short-tailed bird, 6.5 cm long, and weighing 5.2 g. The crown is black, shading to dark grey on the rest of the head, and contrasting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arnoldo De Winkelried Bertoni
Arnoldo de Winkelried Bertoni (December 28, 1878 – August 1973), also known as Arnaldo da Winkelried, was a Paraguayan zoologist born in Switzerland. Biography He was better known as Arnaldo de Winkelried, his name given in honor of the Swiss soldier Arnold von Winkelried who died at the Battle of Sempach in 1386. In 1887, he emigrated to Paraguay along with his family. He first began studying zoology with his father, the naturalist Moisés Santiago Bertoni in the neighborhood of Guillermo Tell, now called Puerto Bertoni in the Alto Paraná Department of Paraguay, along the Paraná River. Between 1903 and 1906, he served as a professor of zootechnics and zoology at the School of Agriculture and Model Farm, which was opened in 1897 with his father as its director. In 1917, he decided to leave Puerto Bertoni and together with his brother Guillermo Tell they travelled to Asunción where he began to work on his own scientific research, investigating the Paraguayan fauna, chiefly ...

Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and comprise the biological family Trochilidae. With about 361 species and 113 genera, they occur from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, but the vast majority of the species are found in the tropics around the equator. They are small birds, with most species measuring in length. The smallest extant hummingbird species is the bee hummingbird, which weighs less than . The largest hummingbird species is the giant hummingbird, weighing . They are specialized for feeding on flower nectar, but all species also consume flying insects or spiders. Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and treeswifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years ago in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, ...
