Saltator maximus
Canopy San Luis, San Ramon-Alajuela
El saltador de garganta canela (Saltator maximus), también denominado saltator gorjileonado, saltador gorgianteado, saltador enmedallado y picurero bosquero, es una especie de ave paseriforme de Centro y Sudamérica, tradicionalmente colocada dentro de la familia Cardinalidae, pero actualmente se debate sobre si está más emparentada con Thraupidae.
Mide entre 17 y 21 cm. El adulto tiene una cabeza gris pizarra, con una corona verdosa y cejas blancas. Las partes dorsales del ave son color verde oliva; las partes ventrales son grises, tornándose leonadas en el vientre bajo y en las plumas cobertoras inferiores de la cola. La garganta es leonada, rodeada de una banda negra que incluye tanto la garganta y el pecho. Los juveniles son más opacos, con la garganta y el pecho negruzcos con manchas blancas, y manchas pardas en las partes inferiores. El pico es convexo y grueso, de color negro; negras son las patas.
Habita bosques tropicales densos, desde el sur de México hasta Brasil y occidente de Ecuador. Se alimenta de frutos, yemas de plantas, néctar e insectos.
La hembra pone dos huevos azules pálidos, de 22 a 32 mm de longitud por 16 a 21 mm de ancho y un peso de 4,8 a 6,1. Los nidos son en forma de cuenco, construidos en árboles a alturas superiores a 2 metros.
Bombus terrestris.
The queen is 2 cm or more in length and the workers and drones are of a more common bumblebee size i.e. 14 to 17 mm in length. Confusingly, it is only the queens and males of this species that have a buff coloured tail. The workers having a white tail, which makes it difficult to separate them from White-tailed bumblebees. A narrow fringe of buff-coloured hairs at the top margin of the tail, when seen, can identify Buff-tailed workers. The two yellow bands are golden in this species and more of a lemon-yellow in the White-tailed bumblebee.
It is possibly the earliest bee to be seen and the largest to visit gardens. It is common and widespread across most of the UK, although outside it is mainly coastal and its range has only recently expanded into the Highlands.
It is a generalist flower visitor for both pollen and nectar and, although short-tongued, it can utilise long-tubed flowers by cutting a hole in the flower to reach the nectar. The queens are seen February to April and the males from July to October. In the south however, active nests have been found during the winter months.
With thanks to the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust's BeeWatch team for their help in confirming the identity of this specimen.
