These guys are small but mighty. They protect their territory with a vengance.

Thanks for looking, this is a black chinned hummer. He had a brilliant purple gorget in the sunlight!

Comments welcomed!

Nice one Wally :thumb :thumb You got some good color on his back and head :clap

I agree about these lil dudes being territorial :uhoh I see hummer "dogfights" daily around my feeder. They are really tough for their size. I've seen them drive off crows and jays from their nesting areas too. No bite, a nice little musical bark and a pitbull mentality :lol
