Time to Stretch Those Wings
Knowing the hummingbirds will be leaving soon, I spent the major part of this past weekend taking an many pictures as possible. It really helped that they have taken a liking to the camelia bush just outside my kitchen window.
As a result, I now have a LOT of them to post over the next few days. Fair warning.
At first I thought this hummingbird was striking a threatening pose due to another hummingbird approaching, but I soon observed that whenever another one came near this one took off chasing it away.
Having seen this happen nearly a dozen times, it would seem this pose is just stretching - which I also saw this one do a couple of times.
