This is a short video of snack-time before bed in Teller Co. Colorado. Male Broadtail Hummingbirds make a distinctive metalic ringing noise when they fly; this sound is clearly audible in the video also with Mysty barking at the quarter Moon. The males' throat is garnet red in bright light, but dark in the evening dimness.
This video is fortunate enough to capture many backwards flights.
Same feeder as me

Great to hear the wing whir--so distinctive of Broad-tails!
