What a lovely surprise to find this channel. Who gets to see this type of thing with the naked eye, it's such a treat! The colors, the music, just the idea of stopping these birds in mid-flight =)

[jcmegabyte]

I'm lucky to have them come the feeder(s) right outside my window all day long, so I get to see a lot of them. However, high-speed shutter and flash photography are definitely the only ways to freeze these little wonders so that you can really see them. :-)

I've taking a LOT of Hummingbird images lately, trying many different photographic techniques. Some of them come out very interesting, and this is a simple slideshow of some of them. I'm glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching and commenting! =)

[PowderSpirit3]

this is LOVELY !!!

.. i have many hummingbirds - all ruby red-throat and i just love to watch them. They are so divine :)

thankYOU

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed this one. I'm having a great time filming these little birdies. There are at least 4 different species here. I COULD have a much wider variety of pictures, but they're VERY aggressive and territorial so I mostly get to see/film only the one bird that hogs the feeder all the time!  XD

[PowderSpirit3]

agressive & territorial ? what do you do to the poor little things ? LOL .. you need to come visit, here they swam and even lit on my friends shoulder ^i^

[musikpsyche]

Thanks so much for the great comment! Glad you enjoyed :-)

[taofledermaus]

It's amazing how many different color schemes they have. Some look like they were painted. Detail that can only be seen in still images! Great work!

[jcmegabyte]

What's really surprising is that all these shots are of the same two or three birds... ALL the same species/gender: female Allen's Hummingbirds. Being so irridescent they can appear as many different colors/patterns depending on lighting and shooting angles.

These are the most aggressive birds around. We have at least three other species, but these girls lock-in their feeder territory and spend nearly ALL of their time chasing competitors away - even the males of larger species. Grrr! XD

[taofledermaus]

That is surprising. It looked like each bird was different! Did you use a flash to bring out the irridescence- I've never been able to get such illumination!-

The females seem to be more bold than the males. I can stand under my feeder and the females will fly 1 or 2 feet away from me while the males don't come close. I think the females wear the bird-pants in that family.. hehe

[jcmegabyte]

Yep, flash gives good, consistent lighting and doesn't bother them TOO much. You must be within 24" when using high shutter speeds, though.

I also use a tripod mirror to direct sunlight from different angles. A combination of both flash and sun yields some interesting results. :-)

The females seem far more aggressive in nesting season, otherwise the males tend to rule. However, these Allen''s girls are just downright mean and greedy most of the time! I'd really like to film some males.

[taofledermaus]

I'll have to experiment and give it a try. You'd think if the flash really bothered them, they'd never come back, or fly dazzled into a wall. (I'd feel bad either way!) Not sure how much longer my HB's will be around, but I am seeing fewer males recently.

[jcmegabyte]

They seem to deal with the flash very well. They're suspicious of it but it doesn't seem to hinder them in any way. After a few shots during a 10-shot flash burst they just go about their business like nothing was happening. When it starts getting dark it bothers them more.

Males have been very scarce here for many weeks. Dunno if they're gone or just being powered-out by the girls! I hope to get some good shots before they all migrate away for the year. The Anna's of course will stay.

[taofledermaus]

I haven't seen any Black-chinned HB's for a couple weeks here, especially the dominant male that would perch on top of a pine tree overlooking the feeder. -- I DID see a female Allen's today for the first time. Spotted those bright red throat feathers. It seems to spend a lot of time around a tree near my feeder- not sure if she is nesting- it's great to see a new species. I need to find info on the migration patterns.

[jcmegabyte]

Maybe the season is about over and the southward migrations are starting. I would guess that many migrate along natural corridors such as mountain ranges and maybe even the Pacific coast. I would like these few females that have decided to own my feeders to hit the road and let some visiting passers-by have a turn in front of the cameras! I have several setups now including an automated shooter (Canon Sx10-is with CHDK motion detection script) and would like some more variety!

[taofledermaus]

I've noticed that when I fill my feeder up, it goes down very slowly for several days. Then, after about a week, the level drops an inch or more a day. Is it possible the sugar is fermenting and they are getting drunk off it? Maybe the females are just drunk and angry!?

[jcmegabyte]

Alcoholic girly birds! Hahaha no wonder they're bitchy! XD

Watch for drips indicating overflow, especially as temperatures rise in the AM. The fluid level in the base is maintained by a vacuum in the inverted bottle. As sun heats the air inside, it expands, decreasing the vacuum and more liquid comes out. More air space in the bottle amplifies the effect. Keeping it out of direct sun or making a sun shield helps, but I still have that problem too, to some degree. :-/

[taofledermaus]

That makes a lot of sense and I didn't think of that. Sounds like you have a good understanding of physics! I still like the alcoholic bird theory though! haha
