speaking of Hummingbirds:
i saw something the other day that surprised me
a male hummingbird seemed to drive off a competitor female
and forced it to right to the ground
then it did this aerobatic maneuver flying in an arch
back and forth keeping it pinned to the ground
(think of a kid swinging on a swing over a ball directly beneath it)
it did that about 8 times then sped off with the female not moving
then slowly leaving the grass
it came over to sip some nectar and left.
