@jofly17 I work at a nursery in Central Florida. A female Ruby-Throated stuck around the nursery all Summer last year. There is a Summer population in Florida.

With all the starving homeless, post-trautmatic laid-off with collective benefits public employee workers, the notion that we should be enjoying these creatures instead of hunting them and shooting them and giving them to the Wisconsin teachers to eat is personally offensive to me.

Thanks for the reply. I guess it gets too hot for them to stick around this far south ( Miami Dade Co.) Anyway I loved your video. Next time I go to Castellow Hammocks I'll try to video some to share with you.

Thank you for your comment.
I would love to film with a video camera. Mine is not digital though. Cheap cameras and photographing birds are not a good mix. I have an awesome pair of binocs!
Working on a Bald Eagle Video now.
I really liked your video and the music was perfect for it! I will save your video and use it as a reference when I begin to landscape my backyard! :-D Thanks for the info.

@eathaor Thank you for kind words. Have fun landscaping, and remember wildlife was there before your home, so if at all possible give them an invitation to your garden with a healthy treat by planting what they enjoy also. It'll be good for both of you.

Beautiful video with great information on the plants which is very important. Thank you. What about the black chinned, I read they fly in sometimes as well. PS. They are not really natives right?

@jofly17 Thanks for the compliment. I am fortunate to have friends who take beautiful photographs and are generous and share them with me. My videos focus on Florida and more specifically Kissimmee in Osceola County the Central Florida area.
Ruby-throated and Rufous Hummingbirds are residents. Although many migrate further south for winter. The Black-chinned is a Western Hummingbird, so it would be my understanding the siting would be on or around a migration or an escapee from a zoo.

Sandie, I actually learned more than I expected. This was not only beautiful but very informative. I didn't realize there were only two types of hummingbirds native to Florida, as it would seem like an ideal environment (though I've never visited there myself).
I love the music, which was very appropriate to the vid.
Great job!

Glad you found it informative.
There are already so many videos of these precious little gems feeding on sugar water feeders. They need healthy natural food. The man-made feeders are okay to supplement their natural diet..
Yes, for the birder on the quest to see hummingbirds, there are other places with greater hummingbird diversity.
Close to completion of my next Video, Bald Eagles.
Many thanks for your comments!
