The White-eared Hummingbird is a Mexican and Central American species that occasionally strays to the mountain canyons of southeastern Arizona, making it one of the rarest hummingbirds in the United States. The male has a bold white postocular stripe, a red-based bill, and a violet-purple crown and throat. Its chattering calls help alert observers to its presence in mixed hummingbird flocks.
