Hummingbirds Competing for Food

Ruby-throated hummingbirds competing for a seat on the feeder. This is in Louisiana shortly before the migration to Mexico when the hummingbird population is the highest.

The ones with the dark throats (ruby throats when the light hits them just right) are males and the ones with light throats are females.

Everyone thinks that this is such a beautiful occurrence but obtaining food means life or death for these birds before migration. Welcome to the cruel reality of nature, youtubians.

@Buccaneerfan13 I saw a bunch of insulting comments on this thread, some of them profane, back and forth between "creationists" and "evolutionists," and made a facetious comment that they should stop and just enjoy the birds. Is that foolish? I also shared my understanding that the cosmological truth is somewhere in between. In some eastern traditions that would be considered the wise path. In the western context, I guess that's foolish, too.

I am content to be a wise fool.

Cheers!
