territorial hummingbird

Trying to sleep and failing, as too often happens I looked out the window to see what was going on in the yard.  There was the hummingbird so I slipped outside to watch him.  Turns out he was very busy defending his territory from another hummer. After chasing off the intruder, he returned and frenetically buzzed to most of the necter plants, sipping and zipping off to the next.  This is the first I'd seen him sip from the lobelia, nicotiana, and salvia...along with the lantana, bee balm and butterfly bush.  Unfortunately there wasn't enough light for good pictures. But here he is at the nicotiana plant.

And the mosquitos are biting!
