I don't know about hummers, but I do know that in some species, juveniles appear larger than their parents because of longer feathers. Comments are solicited

Has anyone in Richmond tried using many feeders to attract lots of hummers at one time? The battles that the hummer have over my one feeder is amazing. Yesterday was particulary suprising. Two males were battling it out, when one slamed in to the other, pinning him to a leaf on a bush. They layed in the foliage for about 5 seconds, not moving, one with its bill locked on the tail of the other. Then off they went again, mighty gladiators.

I also have a female with the top of the head as pale as her breast. She is a realtively large hummer, clearly larger than the males. Just a color morph?
