The balance of power shifts. With this image I show you the new 2008 pretender to the sacred twisted willow tree over which all the hummingibrds fight in my yard. It's prime real estate with the feeders and its location in the garden. I believe this male turned away today for the first time a juvenile male who was claiming the area. We'll see how long this new king lasts. Midlothian, Texas, August 2008
