Lesser Violet-ear display

Lesser Violet-ear: Miriam’s Quetzals, San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — Lesser Violet-ears are among the most aggressive of hummingbirds, defending territory and feeders from all-comers, excluding much larger hummers. Therefore you are much more likely to see on in full offensive posture than you are most hummingbirds. The things they do with there gorgets are amazing, and this one does not yet have its ears out!
