My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Do female ruby-throated hummingbirds guard territory?

14 years ago

This morning I saw two hummingbirds chasing each other and the female landed on the fence and stayed there for about half an hour. Do female hummers establish territory? Please help.
