battle of hummers

I've been getting some really nice stretches of free time the past couple of days so that I can sit out on my little patio and enjoy whatever Nature chooses to show me. A doe and her fawn pass by nearly every day. Three wild Tom Turkeys stroll through and then there are the antics of the Hummers! It's a family affair with an adult male and female and a juvenile. The male has staked out his claim to the feeder on the side of the house, but the female and juvenile go at each other constantly over the other one. It's fun to try to capture them in fight and flight mode! Having said that, I think the two in this photo are the adults. They spent some moments chasing each other through the branches of my heat/drought stressed dogwood tree. Such a relaxing and blessed way to spend some free hours, despite the heat! I've had to turn off both the fountain in the pond (water level got too low to run the pump!) and my little waterfall feature. I'm thinking of ways to put out a little water for the hummers......
