One thing I could not capture today was hummingbirds chasing each other. They are so fast! I saw 3 at once today, more than I thought I'd had coming by. The dominant one (I think?) kept chasing the others away and perching to watch. At least one of the others kept trying to sneak in by going from a different way, but that never worked out. I got lots of shots, though, of the one sitting in various places waiting for the others to return. Eventually there was just the one left and she (I think) took her time eating from all the monarda, lobelia and even the echinops.

Here she is sitting in one of the crabapples. This was a frequent look-out spot.
