This one hummingbird fought valiantly to defend the nectar against a formidable gang of three other hummingbirds. It was amusing to watch these tiny birds, no more than 2 inches long, in an epic battle over sugar water! In between bouts of high pitched squeals and fencing matches with teensy beaks, my little hero rested in the tree I sat near and I was able to get these cool photos. Never before have I watched a hummingbird resting in a tree in the wild.
So that's pretty much the whole story here. I hope you like them anyway. The photo of him flying is very blurry, but I thought it was interesting enough to put up here anyway. :)
