We all have preconceived ideas about what hummingbirds' lives are like, but so much of their world is imperceptible to the human eye. Filmmaker Ann Prum describes the breakthrough science and latest technologies that allowed her and the crew to reveal incredible new insights about these aerial athletes.

"Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air" aired on PBS Wednesday, September 28, 2011 and was part of the 28th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episod...

    Thank you. I loved the video!! I totally agree that this is the way to get people engaged with nature. I can still remember watching Wild Kingdom as a kid and loving it.

    Believe in Lord Jesus Christ repent and turn from your sins because He is coming soon! look inside a walnut it looks exactly like a brain inside and avocado looks like a pregnant womb and takes 9 months to grow and the nervous system and synapses of the brain look like the theorized model of the universe, thunder looks like the nerves system a clear sign of a Loving Creator! and there is no one more Loving then Jesus who died for our sins in our place!

    Amazing...well done. Thank you. I have several hummingbird feeders and photographing them is a challenge. I love these birds and all animal life. Animals make more sense to me than people.
