Campylopterus hemileucurus communicates through calls and songs. Both males and females produce specific calls. These calls are commonly short sharp twitters made while visiting flowers to feed. Males generate high-pitched songs that are used both to attract mates as well as to defend their territories. Like other hummingbirds (Family Trochilidae), the wings of C. hemileucurus create a humming noise during flight.
Campylopterus hemileucurus has excellent visual perception and can see things at far distances. They have color vision and are drawn to brightly colored flowers for their nectar. They also have ultra-violet light perception that aids in their foraging for nectar, since many flowers have such color patterns. They do not have a well-developed sense of smell and generally visit flowers with little to no scent. In addition, their hearing is extremely finely tuned. They can hear high-pitched sounds and detect tiny differences in sound quality.
Like most birds, Campylopterus hemileucurus perceives its environment through visual, tactile, auditory and chemical stimuli.
Communication Channels: visual ; acoustic
Perception Channels: visual ; ultraviolet; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Based on the IUCN Red List, the conservation status of C. hemileucurus is "Least Concern". Populations are not believed to be decreasing rapidly enough to approach the thresholds for "Vulnerable" status.
The major threats to hummingbirds are habitat degradation, loss, and fragmentation. Although violet sabrewings are not listed, most North American species are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. All hummingbird species are listed by CITES in Appendix II except the hook-billed hummingbird (Glaucis dohrnii), which is listed in Appendix I.
CITES: appendix ii
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
There are no known adverse affects of C. hemileucurus on humans.
Campylopterus hemileucurus plays a critical role in pollination of neotropical plants. It pollinates a variety of tropical plants, but the most important to humans are trees in the genus (Carpodacus). These trees are important in providing shade for coffee plantations.
Positive Impacts: pollinates crops
Campylopterus hemileucurus, like many other species of hummingbirds, are pollinators. They pollinate various tropical plants while feeding on nectar. Oftentimes they pollinate plants used to shade coffee plantations. Without these birds and their relatives, many tropical plants would be unable to reproduce and local coffee production would be reduced. A small group of invertebrates known as hummingbird mites also feed on nectar. They use hummingbirds to transport them from plant to plant to feed on nectar.
Ecosystem Impact: pollinates
Commensal/Parasitic Species:
Hummingbirds are very small birds with high metabolisms. They must feed almost constantly since most of their energy is spent flying. Campylopterus hemileucurus is primarily nectivorous but also insectivorous. Most of their diet comes from floral nectar, with the rest from arthropods (Phylum Arthropoda), including flies (Order Diptera), spiders (Order Araneae), ants (Order Hymenoptera), beetles (Order Coleoptera), and other small organisms. They occasionally feed on non-insect arthropods. Their only limitation in feeding is prey size, although they are capable of swallowing surprisingly large organisms.
Food choice of all hummingbirds is chiefly determined by season and habitat. As a non-migratory hummingbird, C. hemileucurus depends on local food resources. They obtain nectar from brightly colored flowers, particularly those in the Neotropical genus Marcgravia during their flowering season. They are most attracted to red and yellow flowers that are shaped like their beaks (long, tubular, and radially symmetric). When hummingbirds open their beaks, they lap up the nectar with their tongues, which have grooves on the sides that collect the liquid. Violet sabrewings can consume considerable amounts of nectar, almost equal to twice their weight, on a daily basis.
Convenience also plays a major role in the feeding patterns of this bird. They visit flowers from which they can most easily obtain insects and nectar. During other parts of the year, when floral nectar is limited, arthropods are their main food source. During this period, C. hemileucurus often hovers over forest streams and darts at large swarms of gnats. This hovering technique during feeding is common in all hummingbirds.
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods
Plant Foods: nectar
Primary Diet: herbivore (Nectarivore )
Violet sabrewing hummingbirds (Campylopterus hemileucurus) have a broad geographic range extending across the neotropics. Violet sabrewings occur throughout portions of northern Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala, to Costa Rica and Honduras. Their distribution extends as far south as northern South America.
Biogeographic Regions: neotropical (Native )
Campylopterus hemileucurus is found in tropical habitats, particularly coastal slopes, inland forests, and tropical grasslands. They occur at elevations ranging from 3,300 to 8,000 meters. Campylopterus hemileucurus does not migrate, because food (nectar from flowers and small insects) is abundant in their habitats year-round. Thus, this region provides an excellent place for breeding and there is no need for migration.
Range elevation: 3,300 to 8,000 m.
Habitat Regions: tropical ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; forest
Aquatic Biomes: coastal
Little or no data has been collected for lifespan of C. hemileucurus or other species in the genus Campylopterus. The average lifespan of hummingbirds in the Family Trochilidae is 3 to 5 years.
Campylopterus hemileucurus is one of the larger hummingbird species in the Family Trochilidae, usually growing to an average length of 15 cm. It is brilliantly colored, with a variety of sharp violets, greens, blacks, blues, and whites. The dark violet and bright blue feathers, mixed with dark forest-green feathers, provide excellent camouflage in forested areas. Its name, sabrewing, refers to the striking flat and thick shafts on its outer feathers. The bill is long and curved, well-adapted for extracting nectar from flowering plants. Flowers with radial symmetry are preferred, because they can easily hover beside the plant while extracting nectar.
Male and female Campylopterus hemileucurus have different coloration. The male's body is generally dark violet and blue on the ventral side, with dark green or black on the dorsal side. Females tend to be more greenish on the ventral side and black on the dorsal side. Both are easily recognized by their distinctive violet throats. Males and females share the same tail pattern with black and white coloration. Juvenile violet sabrewings are distinguished by their lack of violet coloration and flat feathers.
Range mass: 9 to 12 g.
Average length: 15.24 cm.
Average wingspan: 82.6 mm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes colored or patterned differently; male more colorful
Adult violet sabrewings have few predators. This has been attributed to mostly to their large body size. However, juvenile hummingbirds are threatened by mice and cats. Nest predators are the greatest threat to offspring; these include snakes, jays, toucans, hawks, and a few bats.
Male violet sabrewings are easy to recognize with their bright purple coloring and large size. Females, in contrast, have a cryptic coloration, an adaptation that camouflages them from predators. Female hummingbirds also fly in a zigzag when returning to their nests in order to evade predators.
Known Predators:
Anti-predator Adaptations: cryptic
Campylopterus hemileucurus behaves much like other species of hummingbirds during the mating season. Males form groups of six to ten and begin to sing loudly from their leks. Females, upon hearing the mating call, begin to build nests using mosses and other plant material. Grasses and small twigs found throughout the surrounding habitat are used for nest building just before mating. This usually occurs during the rainy season (May through August). Like all hummingbirds and typically all lekking species, C. hemileucurus is polygynous. Pairs remain together only long enough for fertilization. The males then abandon the nest, leaving the females to incubate the eggs and care for the offspring.
Mating System: polygynous
The breeding season for C. hemileucurus occurs during the rainy season from May through August. It is thought that the hummingbirds choose this season for its abundance of food, both for themselves and for the offspring. A clutch size of two eggs per nest is typical. Females incubate these eggs for 20 days. After a few hours of hatching, females begin feeding spiders and fluids to the offspring. About 11 to 12 days later, young nestlings reach their full body mass, with males tending to be larger than females. Nestlings fledge 22 to 24 days after hatching. In many hummingbird species, the female feeds her fledglings for 18 to 25 days after they have left the nest, but exact duration for C. hemileucurus is unknown. Reproductive age is also currently unknown.
Campylopterus hemileucurus usually breeds twice per season. Females typically build a second nest close to or on top of their first.
Breeding interval: Campylopterus hemileucurus breeds two times per season
Breeding season: The breeding season occurs from May through August
Average eggs per season: 2.
Average time to hatching: 21 days.
Range fledging age: 22 to 24 days.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous
Female violet sabrewings are the main providers of care for offspring. After the incubation period, females care for the young nestlings even after they have fledged. Within hours of being born, the mothers begin to feed the newborn nestlings a diet that consists of fluids and spiders. During the coming weeks the mother will continue to care for the young protecting them from predators such as other birds, mice, and cats until they have all reached independence and are able to survive on their own.

Der Violettdegenflügel oder Purpurdegenflügel (Campylopterus hemileucurus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Kolibris (Trochilidae). Die Art hat ein großes Verbreitungsgebiet in den mittelamerikanischen Ländern Mexiko, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica und Panama. Der Bestand wird von der IUCN als „nicht gefährdet“ (Least concern) eingestuft.
Der Violettdegenflügel erreicht eine Körperlänge von etwa 14 bis 15 Zentimetern. Das Gewicht des Männchens beträgt 11,5, das des Weibchens 9,5 Gramm. Die Unterseite und die Kehle des Männchens sind dunkelviolett. Der weiße Punkt hinter den Augen hebt sich deutlich von der grünen Krone und den violette Ohrbereich ab. Der violette Nacken und Oberseite wird grünblau an den Oberschwanzdecken. Der Schwanz ist schwarzviolett, wobei die äußeren drei Steuerfedern weiß sind. Die violette Kehle des Weibchens ist von einem abgestumpften Bart umrundet. Es hat auch einen weiße Punkt hinter den Augen eine grüne Krone ist aber im Ohrbereich farblich matter. Die Unterseite ist hell grau und an den seitlichen Flanken grün gesprenkelt. Die Unterschwanzdecken sind grün. Die inneren Steuerfedern sind grünschwarz, die Äußeren sind schwärzlich mit weißen Flecken. Der leicht gebogene Schnabel und die Beine sind bei beiden schwarz.
Der Kolibri lebt normalerweise im Unterholz und Rändern von Bergwäldern insbesondere in Seitentälern. Zur Futtersuche verlässt er auch mal die immergrünen feuchten Wälder und besucht bewohnte Gebiete, Bananenplantagen oder Sekundärvegetation. Man findet ihn in Höhen zwischen 500 und 2400 Metern.
Der Kolibri ist für seine Größe erstaunlich unaggressiv und wenig dominant. An Blumen ist er wenig territorial. Zu seinen bevorzugten Pflanzen gehören Helikonien, Bananaren und teilweise Gebüsche im Unterholz wie beispielsweise die zu den Brechwurzeln gehörende Cephaelis. Als Nest baut er einen dicken Kelch aus Moos, feinen Fasern und Pflanzen, die er mit Spinnweben zusammenhält.
Bisher sind zwei Unterarten bekannt, die sich vor allem durch ihre Färbung und ihr Verbreitungsgebiet unterscheiden.[1]
Wilhelm Deppe beschrieb den Violettdegenflügel unter dem Namen Trochilus hemileucurus. Das Typusexemplar stammte aus Mexiko.[2] Erst später wurde die Art der 1827 von William Swainson eingeführten Gattung Campylopterus zugeordnet.[4] Dieses Wort leitet sich vom griechischen »kampylos καμπύλος« für »gebogen, gekrümmt« und »-pteros, pteron πτερο« für »-geflügelt, Flügel« ab.[5] Der Name »hemileucurus« ist aus den griechischen Worten »hēmi- ἡμι-« für »halb, klein« und »leukouros λευκουρος« für »weißschwänzig« zusammengesetzt, wobei sich »leukouros« wiederum aus »leukos λευκος« für »weiß« und »oura ουρα« für »Schwanz« zusammensetzt.[6] »Mellitus« ist das lateinische Wort für »Honig, honigsüß, reizend«.[7] Oft wird Ferdinand Deppe, der Bruder des Autors, oder Martin Hinrich Lichtenstein fälschlicherweise als Erstautor in der Literatur genannt. In ihrem Artikel Clarification and corrections of the dates of issue of some publications containing descriptions of North American birds erläutern Burt Leavelle Monroe, Jr. und Marvin Ralph Browning warum Wilhelm Deppe nach den Internationalen Regeln für die Zoologische Nomenklatur als Erstautor gilt.[8] Sie beziehen sich in ihrer Analyse auf einen Artikel von Erwin Stresemann, der bereits 1954 darauf hinwies, das der Fehler wohl auf einen verwirrenden Nachdruck im Journal für Ornithologie aus dem Jahre 1863 zurückzuführen ist.[9]

The violet sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus) is a species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of the subfamily Trochilinae. It is found from Mexico to Panama.[3][4]
The violet sabrewing has two subspecies, the nominate C. h. hemileucurus and C. h. mellitus.[3]
The violet sabrewing is the largest hummingbird of Mexico and Central America. It is 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in) long and weighs 9 to 12 g (0.32 to 0.42 oz). Both sexes have a black bill, though those of subspecies C. h. mellitus are longer than the nominate's. Males of the nominate subspecies have a dusky crown with a bluish green gloss. Their nape and upper back, face, and underparts are metallic violet blue that is somewhat bluer on the belly. Their lower back and uppertail coverts are metallic green. Their central tail feathers are bluish green to bluish black and the rest blackish with wide white tips. Females have a dusky crown and metallic green to bronze green upperparts with a more bluish green rump. They have a violet blue throat. Their underparts are mostly gray with a whiter belly and metallic green spots along the sides and green undertail coverts. Their central tail feathers are bluish green and the rest blacker with wide white tips.[5][6]
Males of subspecies C. h. mellitus have more green on their upper parts than the nominate and almost entirely violet underparts with no blue on the belly. Female's upper-parts have a coppery tinge and their throat is violet.[5]
The nominate subspecies of violet sabrewing is found from the Mexican states of Guerrero and Veracruz intermittently south through Guatemala, southern Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador into northern Nicaragua. Subspecies C. h. mellitus is found most of the length of Costa Rica into western Panama. The species inhabits the edges and interior of humid evergreen montane forest and mature secondary forest, banana plantations, and gardens. In Mexico it generally ranges in elevation between 500 and 2,000 m (1,600 and 6,600 ft) but occurs as high as 2,500 m (8,200 ft). In Costa Rica it ranges between 1,500 and 2,400 m (4,900 and 7,900 ft).[5][7]
The violet sabering is mostly sedentary, but individuals frequently move to lower elevations after the breeding season.[5]
The violet sabre Wing feeds on nectar primarily by trap-lining, visiting a circuit of flowering plants. Males occasionally defend patches of flowers and are dominant over other hummingbirds. The species forages mostly in the understory, often on Heliconia, banana (Musa), Cephalism, and Palic urea though it visits others as well. It frequents nectar (sugar water) feeders and chases other hummingbirds from them. In addition to nectar, violet sabrewings also eat arthropods gleaned from foliage and spiderwebs.[5][7]
The violet sabre Wing breeds during the local rainy season, which ranges from June to September in Mexico and May to November in Costa Rica. In the latter country they may raise two broods. Males court females by singing in leks, typically in the understory or at the forest edge. The nest is a cup of moss cemented with spiderwebs and lined with fine fibers. In Costa Rica it is often built above a ravine or stream, on a horizontal branch 1 to 6 m (3 to 20 ft) above the ground. The female incubates the clutch of two eggs for 19 to 22 days and fledging occurs 22 to 24 days after hatch.[5][7]
The violet sabrewing's song has been described as "cheep tsew cheep tik-tik tsew cheep ..., high-pitched, piercing and ventriloquial" and as "varied, loud, sharp chipping and warbles, often punctuated with fairly shrill, slightly explosive notes". Its calls are "high, sharp chippering", "prolonged, hard chipping", and "single sharp chips given in flight."[5][7]
The IUCN has assessed the violet sabrewing as being of Least Concern. It has a very large range and a population of at least 50,000 mature individuals, though the latter is believed to be decreasing. No specific threats have been identified.[1] "This species can tolerate habitat disturbance, however, as long as some forest cover or tall second growth persists."[5]
The violet sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus) is a species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of the subfamily Trochilinae. It is found from Mexico to Panama.

Multimedia w Wikimedia Commons Zapylak fioletowy (Campylopterus hemileucurus) - gatunek małego ptaka z rodziny kolibrowatych. Zasiedla Amerykę Środkową.
Środowiskiem życia tego gatunku są nadbrzeżne skarpy, lasy wewnątrz kontynentu i łąki. Spotykany jest na wysokości 3,3 do 8 km n.p.m. Nie migruje, ponieważ pożywienie jest dostępne cały rok i są dostępne dobre miejsca do lęgów.[3]
Zapylak fioletowy występuje od części południowego[4][5] Meksyku, Salwadoru i Gwatemali po Kostarykę i Honduras.[3] Zasięg występowania wynosi około 314 000 km2[4].
Występuje dymorfizm płciowy. U samca dolne części ciała i brzuch są ciemnofioletowe lub niebieskie, a po stronie grzbietowej ciemnozielone lub czarne. Samice na spodzie ciała są zielonkawe, na wierzchu czarne. U obu płci występuje fioletowe gardło. Ogon jest czarny z białym zakończeniem. Pióra mają fioletową lub granatową opalizację. Dziób długi i zagięty.[3]
Podobnie jak większość kolibrów żywi się nektarem, ale i insektami, jak muchówki, pająki, błonkoskrzydłe, chrząszcze i inne małe stawonogi. Nektar pobiera najchętniej z jasno ubarwionych kwiatów, szczególnie z rodzaju Marcgravia, największe zainteresowanie wykazują kwiatami czerwonymi i żółtymi. W trakcie sezonu lęgowego często latają nad strumieniami łapiąc komary. Ta technika jest pospolita u wszystkich kolibrów.[3]
Campylopterus hemileucurus wyprowadza 2 lęgi w sezonie trwającym w porze deszczowej, od maja do sierpnia. Zazwyczaj składa 2 jaja, a inkubacja trwa 20-21 dni. Pisklęta po wykluciu ważą 1,05-1,17 g. Po 11 lub 12 dniach uzyskują właściwą dla dorosłych osobników masę, a po 22-24 dniach są w pełni opierzone. Głównie samica opiekuje się młodymi, które żywią się pająkami. Wiek umożliwiający rozród, długość życia i wielkość terytorium nie są znane.[3]

Охранный статус
Пурпурный саблекрыл[1] (лат. Campylopterus hemileucurus) — птица семейства колибри.
Пурпурный саблекрыл достигает длины примерно от 14 до 15 см. Вес самца составляет 11,5, вес самки — 9,5 г. Нижняя сторона и горло самца тёмно-фиолетовые. Белое пятно за глазами отчётливо выделяется на фоне зелёной макушки и фиолетовой области уха. Фиолетовый затылок и верхняя часть тела становятся зеленовато-синими ближе к кроющим хвоста. Хвост чёрно-фиолетовый, причём внешние 3 рулевых пера белые. Фиолетовое горло самки обрамлено «бородой». У неё также белое пятно за глазами, зелёная макушка в области уха тускнее. Нижняя часть тела светло-серая с зелёными крапинами по бокам. Подхвостье зелёное. Внутренние рулевые перья зелёно-чёрные, внешние черноватые с белыми пятнами. Немного согнутый клюв и ноги чёрные у обоих полов.
Ареал вида охватывает центральноамериканские страны: Мексику, Белиз, Гватемалу, Гондурас, Сальвадор, Никарагуа, Коста-Рику и Панаму. Колибри живёт обычно в подлеске и на опушке горных лесов. В поисках корма он покидает вечнозелёные влажные леса и посещает населенные территории, плантации бананов или сельхозугодья. Колибри обитает на высоте от 500 до 2 400 м над уровнем моря.
Колибри удивительно не агрессивен для своего размера и мало доминирует. Он мало территориален по отношению к цветкам. Heliconiaceae, бананы и кустарники в подлеске рода Cephaelis принадлежат к рациону его питания. Гнездо в форме толстой чаши из мха, тонких волокон и растений он связывает с помощью паутины.
Известно два подвида, которые различаются своим оперением и ареалом:
