Not sure but looks like this hummer is making a statement about my efforts to photograph it. It was putting up a determined defense of what it considered it's feeder.

He does look like he's blowing you a raspberry, because he was not going to let you photograph him from the colorful side. You might "add" a glint in his eye to complete his "attitude". :wavey:

Fun, John. They can be pretty pugnacious and I love the expressions they can come up with sometimes. Well captured.
