These are two Fiery Throated Hummingbirds showing dishesence of the bill; a warning sign that they are invading one of their territories. I saw this behavior several times but this was the only time I was able to capture 2 birds at the same time with this display.

It was drizzling quite heavily when this image was taken and I did clone away the raindrops because they were too distracting. Also of note, one can see the reticular lattice pattern I mentioned in the previous Dunlin post. Please see further information in the gear forum.

Iso-2000, 300 mm PF, F8, 1000th, D 500, handheld, no flash, 70% full frame.
