Hummingbirds.
More precisely our resident Ruby Throated Hummingbird.
He’s laid claim to the feeder….
And ferociously fights off all the others who attempt to sip.
I’ve tried to get videos of the aerial ballets….
But they’re much too fast for my lame camera equipment.
You wouldn’t think something so tiny would be so fierce.
But even this guy keeps his distance.
Because size doesn’t matter.
Or so I’ve been told.
River's world..... 
Nice close-ups, and a beautiful type of hummingbird! Not easy to get good photos of hummers, at least in my experience; they spook easily.

And they don’t stay still long enough to pose.

Cute and tiny as they are, they are rather nasty little beasts. We have several that duke it out for our feeder, never of the mindset to share.

I always see photos of feeders filled with hummingbirds… ours won’t let even one other drink.

Do you know how hard those things are to hit with an air pistol?? Ha…just kidding. I wish I could tap into the energy their wings produce. It could light in Miami on Cinco De Mayo.

I envy their ability to eat sugar all day and not gain weight.

As fast as squirrels are, hummingbirds make them look like sloths.

Wow, that squirrel looks like it’s “seen things”. I wouldn’t want that beak pecking at my nuts either…
