Portrait of a young Lothario on watch

I took hundreds of shots of three male hummingbirds chasing each other in a mad, aerial and ruthless display of territorial warfare. One mature male and two want-a-be studs at war. I settled on this watchful one, but there are many more keepers. The chase, the waiting and baiting, exciting. My Leica 90mm lens of my 24-90 zoom was about 18 inches from him, this does have a slight crop, but I was so close. 

Tongue after a sip 

Young Stud # 2 with his red feathers coming in. This is with my old Nikon with my beloved 300 mm lens. He's on the watch for the other two.

For the Record,
This day came in COOLER!! A northeast wind, less heat, but the humidity remains.

All hands needing helmets to sit on the patio, hummers on the move!
