Field Notes
Description:
The Brown Violetear (Colibri delphinae) is a large hummingbird that breeds at middle elevations in the mountains in Central America, and western and northern South America (primarily the Andes and the Tepuis) with isolated populations on Trinidad and in the Brazilian state Bahia.
Habitat:
Rancho Naturalista
The Brown Violetear is typically found high in the canopy of the rainforest, tall second growth and coffee plantations, but it will feed at lower levels at edges and clearings. The breeding habitat is forest at altitudes between 400–1600 m, but the Brown Violet-ear will spread widely into the lowlands when not nesting.
