The Hungry Hummer

 

I was back at the Desert Botanical Garden at 6:00 AM again on Sunday.  (I have to get those walks in now before it gets too hot to be outside.). I was lucky to see a hummingbird dancing around a plant not very far from where I was standing.

I snapped a few shots and these two were the only ones worth showing. 

Then the little fellow moved over to sample the blooms on a yucca plant and I got another pretty good shot.  He was having a great time around these plants until another hummingbird came too close. They chased each other and then flew away.  Hummingbirds are very territorial.  They do not like to share.

Great shots, Sharon. I remember being at a friend's cottage and seeing the hummingbirds fighting over a space at the feeder. I was surprised that these wee guys were so fierce.
