Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds - dispute

Archilochus colubris

Description:

Several hummingbirds visit my feeder numerous times per day and they often have disputes, chasing one another away. Today, I was able to get a few shots, but it’s hard as they fly so very fast when chasing one another!

Habitat:

This is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America. Seen in my backyard

I have the Annas in the Backyard . Always in a dispute and that is why it really amuses me when I find two of them sitting on the same branch!
