Hummingbirds of Cabañas San Isidro, Ecuador, October 6th, 2017

The hummingbird feeders at Cabañas San Isidro attracted a lot of birds (and insects!).

Chestnut - breasted Coronet (Boissonneaua matthewsii) – 12 cm, 7 gram, was by far the most common of the hummingbirds around the feeders. It was not shy and we could get very close to it. It was also rather dominant and agressiv towards the other hummingbirds, and sometimes even attacking us
