You can hear their chirps and wings. Sorry about the back light, but this is the best angle I could use to pick up their sound

Hummingbird Flower Duet

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with No Comments

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)

What is the best way to keep ants from getting to hummingbird necter?

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with 4 Comments

We have a steel Sheppard’s pole with 2 hanging hummingbird feeders on it. The ants keep climbing the pole and getting into the nectar. They end up dying and the birds wont feed. We tried baking soda at the base and when it rains, it just washes away. We have also tried petroleum jelly and that dries in a day or so. Is there any suggestions to keep the ants from climbing the pole? Thanks in advance.

Birding Ecuador Part IV; The Southwest

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with No Comments

Covers Feb 14-18 when we moves south, from the Manglares-Churute area to Buenaventura NP (staying at Umbrellabird Lodge), then to Jorupe with some Moth Mania-photos inserted and a trip down to Zapotillo. That’s when the film ends, since we had more adventures in the south than fit into one part. Had to split it up! Feb 14 starts very wet. We learn that access to Manglares-Churute isn’t possible because that same wet weather has been on it for a while. Back-up place Tamarind was a treat, and thankfully the rain stopped! Bird seen at those places (incl views along the highway) are Horned Screamer (photo), Rufous-headed Chachalaca, Pacific Hornero, Northern Violaceous Trogon, Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant (photo) and a preening Pacific Royal Flycatcher mightily out of focus… This AF-thing is a curse that follows me through the trip. The focus tends to pounce on things in the background, even when the background is a small percentage of what’s in the frame. I knew there was a way to manage the focus manually but simply hadn’t been able to figure it out and the camera lacked good handbook. It turned out that you have to go online and find the data on the web. Suffice to say I didn’t manage that while in Ecuador! To make up for the tawny blur I have an inserted, perfect photo from my trusted camera! Anyway, the adventure continues. We drive towards Cuenca and of course stop at El Cajas NP, high altitude habitat. This is THE place to go in the world if you want to see Violet

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds At Front Yard Dr. JB’s Feeder 8-2-2011

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with No Comments

Little Hummers at the front feeder. We can see this feeder from the home office. It is a Dr. JB’s Hummingbird Feeder, the BEST feeder we have ever purchased and used on a regular basis. There is a dominant male Ruby-Throated Hummer usually guarding this feeder. Half of the time he will sit in the Dogwood tree just out of view and wait for other Hummers to try to feed, then zoom in and chase them. The other half of his time he sits on the feeder and waits for Hummers to fly in over the house roof and scares them away – he’s a trip!
