Anna's Hummingbird

This female Anna's Hummingbird was a colorful visitor just outside our kitchen window.
I would love to capture on video the dives that the male Anna's Hummingbird makes to protect its territory. It will fly about 100 feet straight up, then come diving back down, looping up at the end with a noisy, hovering shake of its wings and body. It's quite a performance for such a small bird.
