Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: A Saw Billed Humming Bird (Petasophora serrirostris) sitting on it's nest with accompanying companion. It is possible that the latin classification and common name of these South American birds has changed since the 19th century when this illustration was created, because Petasophora serrirostris is also the name given to the Violet Eared Humming Bird.
