You hosted a hummingbird hoe-down! I don't think I've ever seen so many of the feisty little creature at a feeder at one time! Beautiful photos, as usual. Your burgundy daylily looks a lot like my 'Spanish Harlem' - what is it?
That day lily is 'Bella Sera'. It's a really good one. Sunset at the hummingbird feeder here is like last call at a crowded bar. I tried to get the shot with 3 at each station and 4 more buzzing around, but the memory card was not in the camera. Let me know if you'd like a couple of fans.
Good blog post theme, I'm getting there because it's true. The 6 hummingbirds in one shot have it right, though they don't have contracts to fulfill or bills to pay!
That's something I've always wondered about -- they seem to expend SO much energy in hostilities that it's hard to imagine it's an evolutionary advantage. The patch of phlox out back in July is like the skies over France in WWI.

ReplyDeletethey have a lot of competitive pressure, though...there's a lot of that going around.
DeleteOur hummingbirds are considerably less social...maybe it's Sunday go-to-meetin' time.
ReplyDeleteThey cooperate when they are all hungry (dawn, dusk). Otherwise, the battles commence.

DeleteTerritorial battles when resources are scarce. Survival of the fittest and all that.
