Sizing up the Competition!! by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: A female Anna's Hummingbird putting on the breaks when she spotted the Bee! The Western Honey Bee was foraging for pollen in our Cardinal Flowers. The Anna's Hummingbird and the Honey Bee flew past each other. The Honey Bee flew to a different flower and the Anna's to the other side of the Flowers. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

Clash of the Titans!!! by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: Miss Penelope, one of our female resident Anna’s Hummingbird is challenging the female Rufous Hummingbird perched in her favorite spot! After our Yucca Plants bloom, I leave a few of the stalks in our yard as the Hummingbirds love to perch on them. The feisty little Rufous chased Miss Penelope around the yard for about a minute. I had to laugh as they each perched on different stalks about 100 feet apart from each other, no one was on the favorite perch!
