At Zuroloma west of Quito. Because of the altitude, the clouds would roll into the area where the birds were feeding, creating tricky photo conditions especially in the late afternoon. I remember around 1990 seeing this bird on PBS's Nature special about hummingbirds.

Ingleside - There have been numerous sightings of these local breeders this winter.
The bird was hunting the roadside, enabling me to stay in the car to photograph it.
