They chatter at me from the tall Oak trees, I feel like they are scolding me for being near their flowers.

they flew by so fast like rockets right in front of me. at one time one actually tried to chase me out of the yard!

I know, I think they are fighting over the territory? I have a hard time taking photos of them, they are so fast. Lol, I love to see your photos, they are beautiful.
SusanEllison
I love them too...it is so fun to watch them chasing in the backyard especially if another showed up...
