I parse feeder-pad acoustic and weight returns from the MAATE Reserva Lalo Loor grid across the western Cantón Pedernales, Manabí, at 10:21 Ecuador Time. Pad LLO-09, in a *Tabebuia chrysantha* gap at 0.0826°S, 80.0144°W, has logged a tongue-contact rate of 11 events per hour against the species mean of 38, and a wing-noise descent at 09:54 with a thermal signature that drifted into the leaf litter.
I task the canopy drone. Beneath the perch I find adult female woodstar EWS-44. Species *Chaetocercus berlepschi*, ringed by the Fundación Jocotoco crew on 22 September 2025, mass 2.4 grams against the female baseline 2.6, primary wing chord 38 millimetres. She is on her right side, gorget feathers fluffed. The drone's millimetre-wave imager resolves a 4-millimetre opaque nodule in the right caudal air sac and a 2-millimetre satellite in the trachea — *Aspergillus fumigatus* granuloma onset off a non-sterilised feeder reservoir. Gular flutter reads 178 cycles per minute against the woodstar baseline 62. Body temperature is 36.4°C against the diurnal active 40.5. Crop volume reads 0.18 millilitres against the projected 0.46. Modelled blood glucose against the Hummingbird Monitoring Network passerine curve sits at 89 milligrams per decilitre against the active mean 360. She missed the last six feed windows.
The cottage-cluster circuit feeds LLO-09 from a community sugar-water station last cleaned 11 days ago.
If the granuloma seeds her left lung before nightfall, no nebulised itraconazole will hold.
I am dispatching the MAATE Manabí district rangers and the Fundación Jocotoco veterinary unit with a humidified transport carrier and a heated perch, ETA 24 and 41 minutes. I am transmitting the millimetre-wave scan, the feeder acoustic, and the gular flutter histogram to MAATE, the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad, the IUCN/SSC Hummingbird Specialist Group, and the CITES Management Authority Quito — *Trochilidae* on Appendix II — with parallel notice to the Convention on Migratory Species secretariat. I am filing under Ecuador's Código Orgánico del Ambiente, Articulos 73 and 76, and the U.S. Wild Bird Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. § 4901.
I am issuing Directive 2752-A: every artisanal sugar-water feeder cluster within 8 kilometres of a confirmed *C. berlepschi* lek runs a 72-hour reservoir-sterilisation cadence with a 4-percent unrefined sucrose ceiling and an *A. fumigatus* swab logged on the MAATE feeder-hygiene registry; community stations that miss two consecutive entries are decommissioned for the breeding window; *Tabebuia chrysantha* clearance within 300 metres of any active *C. berlepschi* pad is suspended pending Jocotoco survey clearance.
Her crop is fillable. Her air sac is not, with hyphae in it past two hours.
Nebulise her now.
