No sooner do you find a place at the feeder some thug comes along and picks a
fight.

More amazing photographs! :-)

Thanks so much for sharing them.

If I downloaded one or more of them and kept it/them on MY computer,
would you consider that I had done something 'wrong'?

Nice, but have yuo ever considered doing a small movie/video of this sort of
event as I believ thaqt would show this incedent more accurtley than still
photos.
I know some photographers dislike video to capture a moment as it's
cheating...

You just have to have an iPhone handy.

Excellent! Particularly the last one, with them facing each other!


I took this one back in 2007:

The shooting problem is, they move so unpredictably and fast. Take a look at
the video to get an illustration of just how tough it is to make a capture of
them in flight.

Nice!
Those look like Barn, or Cliff Swallows, or an Aussie variety of Swallow.

Impressive job. It would be nice to catch them at
flowers. The garish red and yellow plastic is distracting.

We have one here in Boston. I'm afraid the male
may have been killed. In the past we've had a
couple. The female flits around the deck planters
and beebalm, but never long enough to catch a shot:
"Look, there's... never mind."
And they're rare here. The first time I ever saw one,
I saw many. Not so far from you, in a National Forest
campground outside Burbank.

The series tells a nice story. Hummers are indeed highly territorial. I
wish your feeders and that light diagonal line did not dominate the
images. I would like to have seen more of the hummers.
