The domineering hummingbird retires around 7 or so. When the sun goes down. Around that time other hummingbirds come around the feeder to see whether he is gone, and then take a drink.
There were two of them here tonight. They were both afraid. Both sitting across from one another, they'd take drinks and then take glances up into the trees before resuming.
It is a sad and beautiful thing to watch.
