This Green Violet-ear hummingbird looks like it has been through a few battles. Though small, hummingbirds are very territorial and fight each other constantly, it seems, for best feed spots and mates. This bird was photographed in the high altitude cloud forests of Costa Rica.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 365.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
