Tugged Heart Strings

At the surface, its fun to see these little jewels visit the feeder and their territorial disputes are an expected part of their temperment and feeding behavior.
But I can say that a deeper look, pulls at the heart strings. It's enough to wonder if The King will survive his daily challenges, as well as a long migration to Central or South America. I hope so. There will be lots of hardy genes passed on to the next generation.
But the fledglings are another heart-string matter. Their survival depends on their ability to quickly learn the skills of maneuvering to catch insects and navigate nectar sources while escaping combat. This little soul tugged at my heart this morning. A beauty in the making, it's clear life has not been easy thus far.

Below, a pristine beauty awaits The King's arrival.And The King?
He still salutes me at the feeder with a blur.
