Torn between two lovers

Torn between two lovers (Callipepla gambelii)

This female kept going back and forth between the two males. As soon as one would start to leave she'd change her mind and go to the other. Oh, to have that problem!

Beautiful, and unusual species, attractive red-crest in the males. Lisa, you are right, I have a kind of 'preference' for hummers, for me it isincredible how they, so small, are able to do wht they do. You know what I'm talking about, for Arizona is a good place to see these wonderful little birds, too!

Is not that typical of females, never being able to make up their minds! Or maybe she just felt sorry for the one being left out...? Lovely "family shot"!
