Re: Majestic...Thank you Hiltrud. They are tiny little creatures with a tremendous temper and lots of life vigor. I adore them.

Re: great picture!Thanks Arthur. Here's how I did it:
I took a break in a spot full of thistles in bloom and observed all the hummingbirds for a while. I noticed that from time to time she would stop feeding on nectar and then go sit on a branch near her favorite flower and guard it. Each time other hummingbirds tried to feed on "her" flower she would fly over there and chase them away, then took a sip of nectar herself and eventually returned to the same branch. She kept returning to the same branch and I kept getting closer and closer to it. Finally I got the photos I wanted.
