Ruffled Ruby Throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)

This hummer is agitated. He's staring down another male that's just a few feet away to the right of this frame. They both just sat there facing each other like this for quite a while. Neither were showing their red gorget. (They can flash it or turn it dark like in this photo at will) I suspect they both needed a break from chasing each other around.
