My Patio, Sugar Land Texas

Two Hummingbirds fighting over the feeder.
This happens at our feeder, every year.
A Bully takes over the whole patio area and does not allow any other birds to visit.
These two fought for about 20 minutes. At one point, the Bully knocked the other bird to the ground.
Hard to photograph them, because they dart around at lightning speed.

It calls for a bit of "spray 'n' pray", but they can't evade shutter speeds in the hundredths of a second forever.

Bullies come in all species. Nicely captured. V

So small and so defensive…
You managed to capture them very well!

Do you have more than one feeder?

Still, a great capture of the action. Poor guy that got knocked to the ground -- hummingbirds always look so sweet and delicate. V.

Always battling at our house too. We have three feeders spaced quite a bit apart and they still fight!
