glint and gleam like jewels in certain lights. Males, as usual, are the most brilliantly colored. (The vividly colored feathers on the throats of males are called gorgets.) To balance out that seeming inequity, males are smaller than the females.
Every hummingbird watcher knows how feisty these little birds can be. Males have feeding territories which they fiercely guard against all other hummingbirds, male and female, and even against moths and bees.
Females also have distinct territories in which they feed and nest with no help from males, who, after mating with several, even many, females, spend their time feeding and fighting. This can be verified by a close watch at the feeder. If a male dares to dart into a female’s designated space, he is fiercely driven away.
Hummingbirds can back out of a flower, shift sideways and hover motionless with wings moving so rapidly they are a blur. The tiny bird can also zip upwards or zoom down.
