was at the rents most of last week, got to watch the hummers be big drama queens

each one has their own lookout spot and some let some others eat. one of them was like 'youve had enough' after 2 mins and went after them

there's one boy who's been chasing a girl all afternoon

- he sits a couple feet away from her and puffs up his head feathers
- then opens his beak all the way and squawks at her for 10-15 seconds
- then takes flight and hovers right in front of her, still with his beak open all the way, and squawks in her face
- then he flies away for a few seconds and comes blasting back in at mach 3, passing her by like an inch, making a buzzing/popping sound
- at this point she takes off with him and they do a bunch of circling close passes in the air
- then they go and land on the wire again and stare each other down for several minutes until he repeats it

i wish human mating rituals were more like this.


here they are doing the stare-down

the ruby-throated one is the female sits and the male does big U flight patterns in front of her a whole bunch of times, chirping the whole time

I was at the park on monday and saw a hummingbird doing some crazy flight where it would go up to 20-30 feet, fly straight then drop straight down to like 3 feet, then back up after a few seconds we guessed it was a mating display but I'd never seen that before

yep. they do that high speed dive to make squeaking noises with their tail feathers because that impresses lady hummingbirds apparently.

it's explained in this very good documentary:

my hummingbirds are horny again. one has been sitting out there on the clothesline alternating between chugging sugar water and warbling out mating calls all morning.
