Media notes

A bird perched on a thin branch. Published in HBW Volume 16 on page 145. Original HBW caption: There are four races of the restricted-range Greater Flowerpiercer, largely or entirely isolated from one another on the tepuis of southeastern Venezuela, Guyana and northern Brazil. Although found as low as 1300 m, they become common to abundant only at higher elevation, for example, above 2000 m on Cerro Roraima in Brazil. Their total range is small, but there are few human settlements within it. The population appears to be declining because of habitat loss, but the species is not regarded as globally threatened. The Greater Flowerpiercer is found in Venezuela’s Canaima National Park and in the Kaieteur National Park, in Guyana. IBC scientific name: Diglossa major major. Original IBC location name and coordinates: Sierra de Lema (5.922,-61.853). Elevation: 935 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
