I took these photos on my Ecuador trips in 2004 and 2005. Most are humming birds near Mindo. Some of them are used by Andean Birding -http://wildlife-viewing.gordonsguide.com/andeanbirding/index.cfm.
Sparkling Violetear- Yo amo Ecuador. This is one of many photos I took of this same hummer in the front yard of my son's home in Quito. This bird must be a male. He owns this tree and lands on the same branch often. It was taken with flash. Without flash the color was very dark.
