    While sitting on the porch with the camera on a tripod pointing at a collection of feeders hanging in an arbor, I got these shots of two hummingbirds!

    We had four hummingbirds out there. One seemed to be a pair, as they did not chase each other. I think that's what I got in these 4 shots. But we had dive-bombing and chasing all day long! We put out more feeders & spread them out to try to make it easier for them to "share". No such luck, though. Apparently everything in our yard is the property of this one hummer - as far as he's concerned.
