This pair of male hummingbirds appeared on March 23rd and immediately started chasing each other around. It seemed to be play rather than combat as one would dare the other while they took turns being the aggressor. There were quiet moments when they both refueled on the feeder or shared the perch nearby. I like to think they were among the three males that had staked out the feeder last year or had been juveniles that grew up here, and that they had been together ever since.
PS I missed the pair sharing the perch the first time I saw it but they were kind enough to give me another chance later.
Hi everyone — the blog uploading person (Sue Ann) had a series of events happen that made getting blogs uploaded difficult. We will be sharing the backlog over the next few days, so get ready to learn about Milam County nature and activities from the end of March through mid-May!
