Two hummingbirds

I saw a hummingbird
Outside my deck window
Sunday morning during breakfast
White chest, grey head, black tail feathers
Perched on bare brown branch
Then it would flutter off
Chase another hummingbird
Smaller, less brilliant white
Courting perhaps?
I don't know
Return to same bare brown branch
This cold season
December 30th
This unexpected witness
Fluttering awareness
Renewal
