Really interesting footage of colorful hummingbirds hunting and feeding in slow motion and HD. This installment features some amazingly colorful irridescent males of several species; Allen's, Black-Chinned, and Anna's hummingbirds, up close and with their head-dresses all lit up, as well as some very cool shots of females hunting (and catching!) small bugs in mid-air!
HD footage shot with a Canon HF100 HD camcorder (note the strange wing bending effects are an artifact of the HD camera's high speed shutter, NOT the birds' wings themselves). Slow motion footage filmed with a Casio EX-F1 high speed camera at 300 and 600fps rates.
The music is "Intro" from the "Random" CD by Technician (yours truly). MP3 downloads and CDs available at the Technician website: HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com

This is so beautiful, I feed scores of these beautiful little birds year round. They are always fascinating little jewels that captivate me! I watch them for hours, they tolerate me, I have even held them in my hand, but never have I seen them as you have shown them to us. You give us extraordinary vision...Thanks!!!!!

@whitemanik1 Technically, that's exactly what they are doing... although when it's happening in the air we have different names for it :-) Thanks so much for visiting!
