Mr Rufous Hummingbird (high atop a budding Maple) guards his turf. Mr Annas Hummingbird way up in a Cherry tree watches carefully for incoming attacks by Mr Rufous... No, the 2 species do m=no like one another! Pleanty of turf battles ensuing right now!

I am Rufous ,... this is my Summer home!
A female Pine Siskin Mr Anna's surveys his domain A tiny adorable male Bushtit (slightly larger than a hummingbird)
He performs a lot of flaring of his gorget to attract the females attention prior to the dive The actual dive is so rapid, I have never achieved a photo but will keep trying!
Thanks for looking ... Terry V |
