I now have 3 or 4 hummers at any time vying for my feeder, and one of them is a different species than the Sparkling Violetear. At times the action is very fast and vicious as they try to chase each other away.
The following shots are a combination of this morning's and this afternoon's efforts. It certainly takes a lot of patience and battery expenditure to collect these few decent shots.
Some day I hope to get the definitive shot of my little friend.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al

| Hallelujah ! |
 |
| Face-off between 2 species |
 |
| These battles take only seconds |
 |
| To the winner go the spoils |
 |
| They sure love my nectar of brown sugar and water |
 |
| They keep coming back every 10-15 minutes |
 |
| Happy Days are here again |
 |
| Gliding in for a feeding |
 |
| Cutting in the afterburners on departure |

| The new guy bows to the Nectar God |

| Oh, What a feeling! |
