Green-backed Firecrowns are ubiquitous and abundant in the region but migrate north during winter (except on the Quetrihue Peninsula in the Andean lake Lago Nahuel Huapi in adjacent Argentina, where they are year-round residents, found with the winter-blooming mistletoe Tristerix). Accordingly, the numbers of these red-flowering plants in bloom generally follow the bird More

green-backed firecrowns was 19 ± 2 mg h-1 (n = 5). Metabolic water production rates The rates of MWP in resting hummingbirds were 22 ± 3 (n = 8) and 23 ± 2 \iL h-1 (n = 5) during the day and night, respectively (Fig. IB). TEWL was significantly greater than MWP during both the day (paired t-test, t7 = -14.52, P < 0.0001) and night (paired t-test, t4 = -7.53, P = 0.0017). More

potential impacts of the green-backed firecrown on food availability and food access for the endemic. Juan Fernández females spent a significantly greater proportion of their time foraging for arthropods than Juan Fernández males, or green-backed firecrowns. Hummingbirds in native juan bueno (Rhaphithamnus venustus) habitat spent a significantly greater proportion of their time foraging for arthropods than in any other habitat type, suggesting native habitat is a significantly better source of arthropod resources.
