20150804 340 SERIES - R-t Hummingbird vs Rose-breasted Grosbeak.jpg

Our yard

Two images of a feisty Hummingbird letting a Rose-breasted Grosbeak know, in no uncertain terms, what it thinks of it perching on its feeder stand.


Top image: The Hummingbird about to launch itself towards the Grosbeak.


A fast, threatening, fly-by, but the Grosbeak seem unperturbed.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/640s f/6.3 at 700.0mm iso1800 full exif
