January 14, 2013 Bird Fight!

What happens when a Ruby Throated hummingbird finds another hummingbird at "his" feeder?

A teeny, tiny bird-fight, that's what happens!

Just because it's a tiny fight doesn't mean it's not serious - these birds go right at it.  They were wrestling in the air and even knocking each other to the ground.

But eventually the newcomer decided to check out feeders in other areas of the park.

And the winner stood tall and proud!  . . . Well, pretty tall for a hummingbird.
