Territorial Defense against Hummingbirds and Insects by Tropical Hummingbirds
problems of observing them at close range and the variability of their behavior. Territorial hummingbirds are ideally suited for the study of time and energy budgets for the following reasons. (1) Their daily activities are usually quite localized. (2) They are not affected by the presence of a quiet observer and consequently can be observed at close ...
