Brown Violetear

 

The Brown Violetear is a rather large but drab, fairly short-billed hummingbird of tropical and subtropical forest and edge. Can be aggressive when defending flower patches from most other hummingbirds. Occurs mainly in foothills, ranging seasonally down to lowlands.


One of the many hummingbirds we observed, the Brown Violetear, with its drab colours, was a rather cool bird to observe and photograph.
