Ultra-high-speed video of a Broad-tailed Hummingbird Rectrix 2 fluttering in the wind tunnel. Airspeed is 22.8 meters per second. Filmed with a Miro EX4 high-speed camera at roughly 23,000 frames per second. This fluttering motion of this feather creates a distinctive buzzing sound during this species' courtship display.
