The Green Hermit was an interesting bird from our visit to Trinidad this month. The hermit name gives me the impression that this bird is shy. They typically perch in a concealed location and tend to get bullied at hummingbird feeders in my experience. However, there was at least one at the Asa Wright Nature Center that was anything but shy. It seemed to get its thrills by flying up right in front of everyone’s face. It was quite humorous and entertaining. This individual was a more typical example feeding from the torch ginger flowers in the woods.

We will be doing this trip again in spring of 2019, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2019-trinidad/
