One of the female or juvenile ruby-throated hummingbirds made several passes at a Monarch butterfly that did not want to be chased off its tithonia. Eventually the Monarch flew off, circled back and returned to the tithonia. The hummingbird didn't end up nectaring from those flowers, but did use a lot of other flowers plus the feeders.
