Fending Off A Bee

Cornerstone Gardens, Sonoma, CA

The bee flew towards the hummingbird's face. Reacting quickly the hummer opened his mouth
and the bee dropped down instantly to avoid being bitten. Hummingbirds fight to maintain their territory and food source.

Fantastic capture! Looks like a youngster to me. They are usually the ones who get themselves into tight spots. LOL
