It must be time for the hummingbirds to start putting on fat for the long flight across the Gulf of Mexico, because they've been particularly active lately. The aerial jousts have been crazy. There's a whole swarm of the critters flying around and chasing each other nonstop.
There's also a dragonfly that has a patrol route in the same area, and he occasionally gets a close buzz from a hummer. He flinches and dodges for a moment before resuming his patrol pattern. I can almost see him shaking his little dragonfly fist at the hummers. "You're screwing up my hunt! Why can't you lunatics just eat seeds like normal birds? Get off my lawn!"
Watching nature is fun. :D
