This evening I watched an Anna’s Hummingbird – all of 5cm long – aggressively chase off a House Finch – considerably larger – for no other reason than the finch was in the Monarda tree while the hummingbird was feeding and the hummer was having none of it. And all the while Dean was doing his little “birdie” dance and chattering with Sammy silently glowering behind him. It may not be much but that back deck provides hours of entertainment :)
