May I Have This Dance?

I am so happy that the Hummingbirds have returned. I try to get out as much as possible to photograph these adorable birds. First, the Rufous show up, which we seem to have more of this year. Soon after, the Calliope arrive, and hopefully again, the Black-chinned hummingbird will come back, which isn't so common for them to be here. I love this shot, sure the wings are blurred, but I had to risk my camera settings to keep the iso lower. When I looked at this photo on my computer, it looked like he was inviting a partner to dance with him. What do you think this movement says?
