Last evening during the rain, three hummingbirds were peacefully sharing the feeder for several minutes until a fourth one showed up and chased two away. One remained behind for a few more drinks while the others continued in the chase. Today I had one guarding a feeder and would chase any approaching hummingbird, even though she wasn’t drinking herself. She perched about ten feet away and kept a constant watchful eye for any other hummingbirds encroaching her feeder.
On Guard
