This wonderful bird showed up in a Port Alberni, Vancouver Island yard a couple of days ago, it was only there for the one day, the yard owners just happen to be good friends so he calls me to check my email, as soon as I saw the pictures I said I will right there, I live about one and a half hours up island from them and drove right down.
The light was harsh at that time of day but we took what we could get and hoped it would be there the next morning when the light was nice but alas the bird was a no show and had moved on, so keep an eye out for a big hummingbird that likes flowers and doesn't go to the feeders.

There is some debate if this is a Sparkling Violetear or a Mexican Green Violetear, the Greens are from southern Mexico and farther south and the Sparkling are from South America.
