These things are hard to photograph. They are
faster than I
am, that is for sure. Out of about 30 shots, at least a few
were decent. 
These are said to be the smallest birds in the USA.
They are

Wow! That first photo is amazing. Do they fight and chase each other off like the Anna's do, or will they share nicely?
There were several feeders. It was not obvious that they were fighting, but there was a lot of general commotion.
Fantastic pictures! I've spent hours and hours stalking hummingbird feeders with my camera and have never gotten pictures anywhere near that good, most impressive!
Wow. Just ... wow.
Would we find these floating around Phoenix, AZ by any chance?
I've seen some tiny hummingbirds in my area.
