I've seen them do their mating ritual a few times.
The Males fly up completely out of sight and scream down as fast as they can fly.
They get to where the females are perched and do a hard 180 making clicking and chirping sounds.

My pleasure man!
Seen something the other day I've never seen before.
5 of them just buzzing and feeding, 1 male is perched at the feeder with his head straight up in the air....dead still!
He's not moving at all while the females are fluttering around him.
All of a sudden a female perches right next to him, he's not moving.
She hovers by him, then grabs him by the legs and jerks him off of the feeder.
They both flutter to the deck, when they land he is face down beak flat to the floor.
She stands there on his back and pins him down for a few seconds then flies off.
He just lays there motionless so I walk close to him, he then takes of like a bullet.
Crazy birds!

I don't put out a feeder but I get hummingbirds all over the garden when stuff is in bloom. I have house wrens and Carolina wrens that are my clowns. The Carolinas like scratching around mulch and eating bugs and seeds. The house wrens are the alarm clocks like roosters - so if I could just get them to lay lots of eggs they's be tiny chickens.

Beautiful birds. That camera has nice photo quality. Your not clogging anything up, if anything you are blessing this thread with some great shots! Thanks for sharing.
a blue bird will eat more muscatoies than a purple martin ever thought about(eat dragon flies),blues like about 200 ft. around nest site, they are not social type bird.
My wife and I love watching the hummingbirds at the feeder we hang off the back deck.
