Bananaquit Sips Nectar At Hummingbird Feeder In Panama
October 1, 2024Watch this Bananaquit sip some sweet solution from the hummingbird feeder at the Canopy Lodge. These hyperactive little birds drink nectar by probing into flowers, piercing flower bases with their sharp, pointy bills, or by visiting hummingbird feeders. Bold individuals may even steal sugar from outdoor restaurant tables!
In this clip from the Panama Fruit Feeder Cam, a Rufous-tailed Hummingbird joins the Bananaquit at the feeder. After they leave, a White-vented Plumeleteer zips in for a sip.
