Hummingbird Building a Nest.mp4

Posted by Filed Under hummingbird with 8 Comments

This wintering over Anna’s hummingbird built her nest in Victoria BC. The first shot was taken Jan.18, 2010. She finished the nest on Jan.28, a ten day build. You can see her building with fluff, twigs and feathers. She wraps and binds the building materials together with meters of spider webs. The finished nest is only 5cm across X 4cm high. I shot several hours of video using a Sony EX-1 camera shooting at 1920x1080i. Music provided by Smart Sounds library. For more info contact; personavideo@shaw.ca

I found a pear shaped hummingbird nest – i verified it against other photos on line – hanging in my orange?

tree. It is empty and appears to have a "tear" from top to nearly the bottom, but was well built and still hanging. There are the remains of a second nest (older dried up but still comparable) next to it. I have hummingbirds every year. Is the tear in the newer nest natural and might it be used again, or would a predator have done that? I also saw down feathers on the ground but no dead birds. Back to my question, do these sack like hummingbird nests have natural long openings/slits?

Slow Motion Hummingbirds 3 HD 720p

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with 25 Comments

A male Anna’s Hummingbird puts on a spectacular show in slow motion. The camera setup was placed so that the bird would look in the direction of the sunlight, so that the light angle would cause his irridescent headress to light-up a brilliant red – a difficult angle to get in many cases. Shot with a Canon HF100 using several shutter speeds and framerates for best visualization of the bird’s movement and irridescent colors.
