"What a radiant little gem! The Green Violetear is a stunning, metallic, green hummingbird from Costa Rica. The Green Violetear is a medium-sized, metallic green hummingbird, common in montane regions in Central and South America. It is one of four species of violetears (Colibri), all of which have a patch of elongated violet feathers on the sides of the head. They inhabit highland forest borders, clearings and highland pastures. Green Violetears usually are solitary, foraging and singing alone."
