Thanks for the great comment Jas,he was ready to launch as soon as the other hummer got close enough.He wasn't there long after this shot.

Great shot; pose and colouring! He looks as if he's about to be catapulted from his perch! LOL :)

great image & good detail of the feisty little fella, Alex, lol. He sure looks fierce in this one. Ours don't seem or look quite that fierce, altho they spend most of their lives chasing each other around. Fun to watch. His colours look different to the hummers you had there in previous years, deeper green.

Great shot, it totally reflects the ruby-throat's belligerant attitude. I'm sure that's the main reason they're the only eastern hummer, they just drove all the others away.

Great capture of the tough guy! What a mean look, and you captured it just right...
