[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At least seven, and probably more, Hummingbirds have taken a break from their migration South...This photo captured a male Black Chin and three females but contrary to Cornell, there is also a male Ruby Throated hanging around...The females of the two species are almost impossible to distinguish apart...It's amazing, like a swarm of bees...Constantly chasing, fighting and scolding each other while trying to feed...They will probably be gone soon, heading South to parts unknown...

Hi Jim,
A fine moment framed so nicely.
The blurred BG adds to the nice
effect. I think the blurred wings gives
you some idea of the speed at which
they are flapped.
Regards.
Janak
