Happy Hummers

This & next:  House Finches eating yucca seeds
Willow, Frio and I did our regular hike this morning, and all--OK, just me--were surprised to see a few ocotillos still flowering.  Even more surprising were the two hummingbirds (probably juvenile/female Rufouses) fighting over the nectar.

Took a lot of photos of the happy hummers, but none of the image quality I was hoping for.  Oh well, maybe next time.
