Had a chance to capture some humming birds.

I went to northern MN to visit my family and my sister has these around her home. There is one that is constantly chasing the other hummers away as if the plants and feeders are all his own.

Great photos! I've heard they can be very territorial about the feeders :)

Nice captures, Hummingbirds are territorial and will defend their space. Anna's will kill other Hummingbirds when defending territory.

Very nice Greg!! Last year they were fighting and two of them hit together in the air. One got the wind knocked out of him and I got to hold it for about 5 minutes while it got it's senses back.:):) I felt very privileged to help it.:):) It took off right from my hand. Very cool!!

Erv they are something to watch with their flight and hovering movements.
