Field Notes
Description:
This female, no red on her chin at all, was the most plump of the 3 hummingbirds that visited the feeder this day. She would stand watch over the feeder from a perch in the dead Kwanson Cherry Tree branch. Then the other two would appear, she would dive-bomb and chase them away. If you look at her belly, it is noticeably larger around than the next hummingbird at the same feeder. After her chase to the woods, she returned for more sips and more guarding. it's Sept 11 today, and she's out on that same perch today!
Notes:
I think that fighter pilots should watch these critters arial acrobatics because it was amazing!
