Broad-tailed Hummingbird

It was an amazing experience to be able to watch this daring male defend and feed from a specific flower patch day after day at the YMCA. I knew how attached individuals could get to one pot of flowers from previous encounters, so I just hung around them until a bird showed up and stayed in the area. Luckily for me, it just happened to be this brilliant male, and he wasn't shy at all.
