This is the time of year when the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds become very protective of their food supply, attacking any interloper. It often seems as though there are 5 - to 10 acting like fighter planes as they dive at their competition, all in my baxkyard. This image was taken yesterday as he was waiting and watching for his competition. Shooting data follows:
