This morning two male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds fought for supremacy over the feeders.  That's the first time I've seen that at our home here.  Unlike many posters who seem to get dozens of these birds sucking their feeders dry, we've only been visited by singles -- single males and/or single females.  There were, apparently, two females (at different times) who visited the feeders yesterday morning.  So maybe there'll be a chance for an interesting courtship display.

Good birding on such a gorgeous day,
