Hummingbird Bird Feeder

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)

Hummingbirds Slow Motion HD ~ Calliope & Rufous : Adult Male Rufous, Adult Male I’ve been waiting all winter for the hummingbirds to return and get some slow motion video (240fps) of them. I film with the Sony HDR AX2000 set to auto shutter, manual focus and 240fps.

Filmed May 27 in Christina Lake British Columbia with Sony HDR AX2000, the birds were about 1.1 to 1.3 meters away at the feeder. Camera was on auto shutter, manual focus and set to 240fps mode. music by Alexander Blu 08 – My land

Hummingbirds ~ The worlds smallest birds are back in Canada, Christina Lake. ‘Fairy Tail’ by aleksrutko aleksrutko.promodj.ru

The tiniest hummingbird north of the Rio Grande, the Calliope Hummingbird, Stellula calliope, occurs primarily in Mexico and western sections of the US and Canada. These were filmed in Christina Lake British Columbia in May 2011. You can recognize a Calliope Hummingbird by its coloring and size. It’s a very tiny hummingbird that’s green on top. A male Calliope Hummingbird has red and white streaks on its throat, while a female has a whitish throat and a cinnamon chest and belly. Researchers have not spent a lot of time studying the Calliope Hummingbird. They say more research is needed before they can determine the best way to conserve the bird’s population. However, they do know that many species of hummingbirds and insects that pollinate flowers are decreasing. They believe these decreases in population numbers may include loss of habitat, more pesticides, and non-native plants being introduced to the environment. The Calliope Hummingbird is even more susceptible to natural disasters, diseases, and changes in landscape because of its restricted habits for wintering. music by Daniel Bautista 05

Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world feeding on small insects and pollen – With the rampant use of pesticides in much of their migratory route and habitat – I think their days are numbered. One by one, all species are under attack, can it ever stop? Music: Le chant des sirenes part III by Emha artlibre.org

A homemade nectar feeder works. It attracted and fed a sunbird here in Klang, Malaysia!

There are nearly 150 species of hummingbirds, all of them found only in South America, Central America, the Caribbean and North America. Their migration is an epic journey of 4000 miles or more round trip and in the summer they can be found as far north as Alaska. Their diet is of insects and nectar from plants, no other bird can hover or fly backwards. Their high rate of metabolism requires a heart beat of up to 200 beats per minute which they slow to 35 beats a minute during roosting at night. I love these little birds,one of natures wonders.
