They are normally a bit wary but not too difficult to catch with a net. These two, however, were very docile while mating. Something had disturbed them wherever they were and they flew right onto the bush in front of me while I was filming.
If you approach very slowly you can even pick them up carefully as I did here to film them. I set them back down carefully as well so they could finish-up and be on their way. :-)
Thanks for more great Videos. I spent the morning trying to get a hummingbird to land on my nose. No luck yet. But I will get it this year or next if I can still get on the ground. lol Waldo
Both the Canon HF100 camcorder and 5S-is digital still cameras I use have very good macro lenses,being able to focus on objects which are nearly touching the lens itself. :-)
Yeah, I have to get another camera lol! Right now I use a magnifying glass to see caterpillars good with my camera! Also, I now have ladybug larvae and 2Cabbage loopers
Beauiful butterflies!
Are they hard to catch?

I'd be happy just to get some different birds besides the two or three females that have been hogging my feeders for the past several months! :-)
