Buff-bellies were trying to guard their feeders from the Archilochus interlopers.

I took some photos of the Archilochus hummers and they all seem to be Black-chinned Hummingbirds. This one even shows a new purple gorget feather.

They all seemed to be pale crowned with short tails and broad, curved wing tips as
Sibley illustrates.

A couple of perky Overnbirds were strutting around the feeding station.
