Jerome GFINALLY. I’ve spent years trying to capture this.
This is the other frame from the same sequence. I chose the other one because both birds’ wings are out. Very thrilled to have two different shots though!

Mohs@Jgbird is this a caption contest?
If so, I make a simple start:

Shannon Kay@Jgbird This is amazing. I learned a few years ago that hummingbirds are actually quite aggressive.
My grandmother gave me a spare hummingbird feeder and I hung it on my patio. Hummingbirds started to come. Then I noticed that there was one hummingbird perched nearby all day who chased away any other bird who came along. It even started swooping at us when we walked by. We took the feeder down.
Hummingbirds don't like to share? My grandma had lots of feeders, so I didn't notice before.
Ted Garrison@shannonkay
Can tell your from east of the Mississippi... Because only the eastern ones are mean to each other. The western varieties will share the feeder... That why the feeders all have multiple ports.. not for our eastern hummers...
Multiple feeders hung a decent distance 50+ feet apart, or out of sight of each other will allow multiple to feed at once...

@Tedgarrison3 @Jgbird I’m actually from Southern California
@shannonkay @Jgbird And your's don't get along? I've always read all the west coast varieties are social...
Alun Jones@Tedgarrison3 @shannonkay @Jgbird Washington State here, can confirm, our hummingbirds do not want to share.
cytokine_storm@shannonkay @Jgbird my bet is that it is the sugar. Australia's honeyeaters are absolutely insane. You can't walk down a suburban street without seeing some kind of bird fight 😳
saltyspoon@Jgbird reminds me of when captainsparklez called hummingbirds 'sharks of the sky'

@Jgbird I hope it's not some kind of Avian Jedi beak-sabre fight
;)

@Jgbird this is so damn cool! 🔥😎⚔️
acm@Jgbird fighting or feeding? amazing shot, I can only imagine!!
What do you think is transpiring between them?
@JoeLamport Territorial dispute
Hummingbirds can be so aggressive. So much for a high metabolic rate!
Bruce Harry@Jgbird Well Done!!
Indigo ♿ she/her@Jgbird Hummingbird swordfight!
Tim Bray@Jgbird Me too, but have totally failed so far. Congratulations!
Bebna@Jgbird
And in focus too! Congrats! I know from experience how hard that can be if they don't rest.

KanaMauna@Jgbird Congrats. I have a hummingbird who lives in the bush outside my front door and threatens me everyday yet all I have to show is a couple of blurred pictures.
Jesper Fussing MørkGreat story in this shot!
Farce Majeure@Jgbird o/~ if you liked it / you shoulda / put a hashtag on it o/~

Marcus ReynoldsWe ought to look after birds because it’s our clear moral duty to do so. But when we do this job we do it also for ourselves. Birds need people, yes, we know that. But here’s another fact. People need birds.

Cat West@Jgbird You told Hummingbird 1 that Hummingbird 2 was talking trash about her? And then did the same to Hummingbird 2? Brilliant! Troublemaker!
Ellirahim@Jgbird Rare hummingbird fencing match.
lorddimwit is now @Bird 1: You fight very well, but there is something you do not know.
Bird 2: What is that?
Bird 1: I am not left-handed.
