Never seen them do this before. Seen males drive off other from feeders. Dive bomb during mating.
But what seemed to be an argument between male and female.
Had my camera set up for DG challenge shots it was set f29 but still turned out pretty clear.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Perhaps the female is miffed because the male was out late the night before. :D Terrific capture.

    He did a few dive bombing runs at her then went down on the lower branch and worked his way up just chirping the whole time. He seemed quite miffed. I have seen them duel over feeders before. I believe they had a nest nearby in our yard but have not discovered it yet.
