Anna's hummingbird chirps with its tail

For the past several weeks I have been observing the interesting behavior of an Anna's Hummingbird as he courts the females in our yard. The "chirps" he produces are fairly loud. It is exciting to watch his hovering high above the female and then his rapid plummet in front of the perched female.
