Despite keeping an eye out during the day the Green Violet-ear was only
sighted about 6:30 this evening and only briefly. I got home about 6
before deciding to take a look with this brief success. Marci looked
during the day. I got it in my binoculars perched about 25 feet up in the
understory briefly before ascending into the upper levels.
I was asked if it was still coming to my feeders. This is a natural
assumption but in fact it has been in the yard and never to the feeders
that are up. It is feeding in Tegaguaje trees that emerge in the upper
canopy perhaps. They have flowers though the birds at this level may more
likely be eating bugs.
The tropical hummingbirds I have had in the yard do not come to feeders as
a rule. The Turks Cap are a favorite.
I did move a feeder to a back clearing which may have been a mistake as the
resident Buff-bellied Hummingbirds took up territory and might chase things
off.
Can call Marci 956 245 7192 in the am if you wanted to try for it. If you
come stay on trails. keep quiet and be cautious. Do not trod on plants,
off trails etc.
Small area so easy to scare things away.
