Abstract
-Long-tailed Hermits (Phaethornis superciliosus) normally fly faster than the velocity predicted to minimize their cost of transport. The average speed we measured for individuals flying a known 40-m course was 11.5 m/s. Rapid flower visitation yields rewards that could compensate for the extra costs of fast flight.
