The hummingbird dogfights
We now have four hummingbirds in residence. Three females and one male. They are ruby-throats.
It was an exciting dance of rivalry and fighting amongst two of the females around 1:30 this afternoon. Two would go at it never letting the other one near the feeder. When they flew out of the window view, you could catch their shadow on the patio and grass.
The third female would come from one of the trees and swoop in to get a drink only to have the other two get p*ssed and stop fighting only long enough to fight her back away.
