Hope everyone has been well. 
Got this shot on a recent trip to Costa Rica. 
This guy was the king of the feeders and he would spend hours chasing all the other hummers from the feeders. 
Here I caught him in a unique contorted defensive pose as another hummer came up from behind him.

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it.
