Our balcony was very busy last Thursday with what we assumed was courtship behavior by a pair of Anna's Hummingbirds. This went on for hours, making it hard for us to get anything done. After three days of observing them chit chatting on the perch and then breaking out into full blown war, and then settling down for more conversation, only to repeat the whole drama over and over, we realized on close examination that we did not have a pair in courtship, but two females, bickering over the feeder or whatever. A male would also look different with a more complete throat patch.
