This little guy was just trying for one more sip when a hostile appeared. Hummers can be greedy aggressive little things. Back light from the setting sun and front fill from a flash on high speed sync. so the result looks like bright sunlight without the shadows.

My husband says it's a good thing these little sprites are bigger. We'd all be in danger. 
Lovely shot, Jerry, and I see he's on a constant lookout.

Lovely shot, Jerry, and I see he's on a constant lookout.I have seen them go after doves that got too close. One poster says he has seen them go after an eagle - which more or less just ignored the hummer.

Yes, at times. Other times I can see several all peacefully feeding and others just perching waiting their turn.
