Mrs Weaver has to wait her turn

at the feeder. It is amazing to watch how aggressive the males are towards other birds, including the females. They always get chased away and are only allowed to drink when the male has finished.

[George]

Superb composition and story.

[Carole Sandford]

Wonderful light!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I know that's the general rule of thumb among most birds but the females at my hummingbird feeder have no qualms about chasing away a male if he just happens to show up when they're feeding. it's crazy! This is a great shot of the pair!

[Bill]

Really nice capture. Love the details that you show on this shot.
