The Julia hummingbird ( Juliamyia julie ) is a species of bird in the hummingbird family (Trochilidae). The species occurs in the countries of Panama , Colombia , Ecuador and Peru . The IUCN assesses the population as Least Concern .

features

The Juliet hummingbird reaches a body length of about 8.1 cm, with the short straight beak 1.3 cm long and the lower beak predominantly flesh-colored with a black tip. The upper side of the males shimmers green, with the top of the head and throat shimmering golden green. The rear part of the underside glitters purple-blue. The graduated rounded tail is bluish-black. The female is a little smaller. The top is colored green. The light gray color of the underside turns whitish towards the belly. The flanks and the throat are occasionally streaked with green.

behavior

The birds usually stay close to the ground at the edges of the forest, in clearings or open woodlands. Occasionally they also fly to the higher blooming tree tops. They are more of a loner, but also hang out in the company of other hummingbirds when searching for nectar.

Vocalizations

The bright-sounding voice of the males sounds like a series of prrri sounds. During the breeding season, they sit at a height of 1 to 10 meters and emit an insect-like vieie, veii, veii, veii . Your alarm call sounds like si, si, sik .

Subspecies

Distribution area (green) of the Juliet hummingbird

There are three known subspecies:

Juliamyia julie panamensis ( Berlepsch , 1884) - This subspecies occurs in central Panama. Here it is widespread in the province of Coclé to Guna Yala and the province of Darién to the lower reaches of the Río Atrato and Río Sinú in Colombia. The throat is more golden green and less iridescent blue-green. The color of the apex appears rather dull green and less brilliant.
Juliamyia julie julie ( Bourcier, 1843 ) - The nominate form is common in northern and central Colombia. In the valley of the Río Magdalena it occurs at altitudes of up to 1750 meters, otherwise up to 600 meters. Here it is present from Cartanga over both mountain slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Magdalena Valley to the northern part of the Departamento del Tolima .
Juliamyia julie feliciana ( Lesson , 1844 ) - This subspecies occurs from southwest Colombia through western Ecuador to northwestern Peru. In Ecuador, the distribution area extends from the province of Esmeraldas and the province of Manabí to the province of El Oro and the west of the province of Loja . It is believed that it extends as far as the Departamento de Nariño in Colombia. In Peru it occurs only in the Tumbes region. The subspecies has a slightly longer beak. The top of the head and the throat glitter in a metallic green.

Etymology and history of research

Jules Bourcier described the hummingbird under the name Ornismyia julie . The type specimen for the description came from Tunja in Colombia. Since the author published the same article relatively soon, but with the name Ornismyia juliae , the specific epithet juliae is occasionally found in the literature . Although Revue Zoologique lists 1842 as the date of publication, Bourcier's article actually appeared in 1843. It was Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach who classified the hummingbird in the new genus Damophila in 1854 , so that the name Damophila julie stayed in science for a long time. However , John Curtis had already used the genus name Damophila in 1832 for a species of butterfly that is now known as Coleophora trifolii . Since Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte used the generic name Juliamyia for the Juliet hummingbird in 1854 , this name has priority today according to the International Rules for Zoological Nomenclature . Both »Juliamyia« and »julie« are dedicated to Julie Ronchivole (1801–1868), the wife of Étienne Mulsant (1797–1880). René Primevère Lesson honors Jeanne Françoise Elisa Félicie Abeillé b. Gard, wife of Grégoire Abeillé (1798–1848), a doctor and bird collector from Bordeaux. »Panamensis« was chosen by Berlepsch because he only assigned the distribution area of the subspecies to Panama and the province of Veraguas .
