Some more of the little Hummingbirds

I posted a few for my Birthday last week and then went out on Sunday looking for the little hummers again and I was rewarded with a few oppurtunities.
Below is the results and for Joer the directions I gave were not quite correct, it would be just west of the Hoffman Tower, (directionally challanged at times). Sunday there were high clouds with the sky all white and the birds were perching higher on the branches most of the time.

Thank you for the kind comment.
The day they were taken was the 3rd time I had seen the Hummingbirds in this area. I wish I knew more about the birds behaviour.
There would be 3 or 4 sometimes 2 chasing each other, they move so fast. then one would split off. I would be able to follow the bird occasionally and it would land on the branch.
The bird would sit and preen then look around and start with the threatning posture and all of a sudden one of others would be "attacking" it appears.
I am not sure it is territorial disputes or a version of tag amonst nest mates from this years hatch.
