I love that last sentence!:rofl .

Plus it is interesting w all these things/animals/birds, how their colors camouflage right into the environment. I never thought that would be true of hummingbirds, but I couldn't see them: until I could.

Very kewl shot John :thumb :thumb


I see the one's in my area doing this all the time. They chase each other around and even have an occassional jousting duel by my feeder ( you can hear their beaks clicking against one another:uhoh ) Maybe it's some sort of territorial thang. Or possibly a Napoleon complex......LOL Whatever it is, it's sure fun to watch (and hard to shoot :cry )

Good work and love the colors :clap
