Saturday evening, we watched two hummingbirds battling for rights over a firecracker plant. We were amazed at how long they dove and swooped at each other in the air. Finally, only one remained, and exhausted, he took some respite in the back yard pine tree. After the big battle with another wondrous flyer, an earthbound human didn’t seem very threatening to him, and he let me take at least a dozen or more photographs of him. What a wondrous little bird God fashioned when he created the hummingbird.
O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
~ Psalm 104:24

That’s great that you had good shots of the hummingbird.
We are having the wars of the feeders. Every house has at least one feeder, yet those fierce little birds fight over them.

I have my camera at the ready all the time…I usually run out in the yard with it several times a day at this time of year. Hummingbirds, butterflies…the visitors are thrilling. I hope you are enjoying your feeder wars too. That almost sounds like a good television show.

The hummingbirds fight on the deck near my computer and outside the porch where we eat. We have ringside seats.
