Sure enough within a minute the female approached and Fred immediately charged. The first vid shows Fred, in silhoutte, perching and guarding. The second vid zooms back a bit, so you can see the feeder in the foreground, and the very rapid action that ensues. Not good visibility, but interesting.

Fred guards his feeders
After working all day, in the garden and other things, I decided to try to film the female who has been quickly visiting 2 feeders located at the northwest edge of the sanctuary, close to the bluff where I suspect she is nesting. But when I settled in, in the rapidly fading dusk, I saw that Fred had the same idea: he was perched near the feeder and guarding it against this interloper (and, perhaps, conquest).
