Un colibri de tamano mediano y plumaje predominantemente verde con una distintiva mancha auricular de violeta-azul iridiscente y franja pectoral, el colibri orejiverde mexicano (Colibri thalassinus) habita bosques de montana desde Mexico hacia el sur a traves de Centroamerica a altitudes de 1.000 a 3.000 metros. Los machos son agresivos, muy vocales en defensa del territorio y realizan vistosos despliegues de vuelo. Se reproducen a grandes altitudes pero algunas poblaciones realizan migraciones altitudinales estacionales. Es uno de los colibries mas comunes en los habitats mexicanos de pino-encino y bosque nublado de montana.
