Still observing "hummingbird wars" over the feeders in front and in back of our house. Seems to be three Rufus and one Black-Chinned seen at one time. Lots of posturing, some eating together at the same feeder. Not sure what makes the difference in fighting or sharing.
Also competition for nectar from wasps. Wasps "run" the hummingbirds away.
