Hummingbirds never fail to amaze me. These flying jewels can be almost comical in their antics. Though anyone who has observed them for any length of time knows that they can be extremely aggressive and territorial little creatures, especially about their food sources. While not a technically perfect image, I wanted to share this pic because it shows behavior that can not usually be seen with the naked eye. These two female Rubythroat hummers were serious about establishing who was the Alpha female, claws and beaks at the ready.
