Caught this one by accident.
Couple of hens discussing their differences. Quite common for hummers. It's a territorial kind of thing.

Actually, it's not a couple of hens.
If you look at the top hummer closely, you will see that is a male. The one on the bottom is female.
The male sits on a swing that is just to the left of this photo. When anyone comes near "his" feeder, he gives them grief.
