Defensive posturing

While out for a walk yesterday I came across two male Anna's Hummingbirds having a territorial disagreement. This one landed on a branch not far from me, and then the other dive bombed it a couple of times. When the bomber got close this guy would flare his tail and wings at him.

 

I was shooting upwards against a lightly clouded white sky that acted like a giant diffuser, and it was perfect for showing off the beautiful colours of the male Anna's.
