Hummingbird Bird Feeder

This video was uploaded from an Android phone.

This praying mantis sat on the hummingbird feeder for 24 hours waiting for a hummingbird to get close enough to catch. I decided to set up the video camera to see what I could get on film. It appears the praying mantis was successful, but I do not have video of the aftermath. This will have to do.

Hi Everyone!

I moved to Oregon this last summer, and I put out hummingbird feeders like I used to in northern Idaho. We used to take the feeders down in late July – early August, but that was because of Idaho’s winter climate. In Oregon, when is the best time to take them down? I still have my one hummer that comes on a daily basis, but its October now, and he hasn’t headed south for the winter. Do Oregon hummingbirds stay here year-round (I’m in Salem), or do they migrate to Latin America like most species? I’m just wanting to know if I need to take my feeder down to kinda force him to migrate, or if they stay during the winters. Thanks!

Got up this morning and saw 3 hummingbirds and took a video of one of them feeding.

A collection of hummingbird sequences set to “The Flower Duet” (Sous le dôme épais) from Léo Delibes’ opera Lakmé. Best view is fullscreen 480 or 720. The red trumpets were not exactly like white jasmine or rose, but they worked out well. Taken in mid-August with GoPRO HD on tripod, mode r3. Slow motion sequences were 20% for the birds and 40% for the insects. Music: www.youtube.com (Anna Netrebko and Elīna Garanca)

This is a video I filmed by strapping a camera tripod to a hummingbird feeder, and it is probably the best hummingbird footage you wil EVER SEE!!!!!!!

OK, we’ve finished added 7 newly decorated Shepard Hooks with flowers and 10 new Hummingbird feeders to add to our Wisconsin Garden flora environment in honor this Memorial Day Rememberance Holiday. Thank you Richard for your service as we extend our thanks to all veterans everywhere who have served, both past and present.

Smart gal – only came to the feeder between wind gusts. Condensed from 23 minutes. Watch in HD for best viewing.

do they actually eat at night?..and how about the woodpeckers??..

They are the small black ants and with the dry weather I have tried using Seven dust with no results. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
