Flight of the Hummers

No, I’m not speaking of the vehicles.

This evening I watched three hummingbirds flit and chase each other around and around a flower bed.  Their frantic high-pitched cheeps let me know they were serious and this wasn’t a game.  They kept at this “hummer-war” for a good thirty minutes before I finally walked away.  Their energy is amazing.  One of them even swooped by my head as I was taking photos.
