Under today’s blue and white sky, the ruby-throated hummingbirds have had a fierce and fearless time of feeding, flitting and fighting all day! They are so territorial that they body-slam each other in mid-air as they make good on their get-outta-town threats. Smaller and more slender than my thumb, and faster than my shutter finger, their distinctive hum in the air is produced by 53 wingbeats per second! I was glad to capture a just a few images from all the drama and spectacle!
