How Hummingbirds Fly When It Is Raining

Posted by Filed Under hummingbird with No Comments

The University of California, Berkeley has just realeased slow motion video footage showing how hummingbirds deal with water when they are flying.

It was unknown how out small friends manage to hover when it is raining, but slow-motion footage reveals the hummingbirds shake their heads to remove the water.

Now, it may not seem a big deal for them to “shake their heads”, but the video study shows that the hummiongbirds do this with incredible speed.  So much speed, in fact, that they generate upto 34g in acceleration forces when they do this.

Absolutely amazing!

The BBC has posted the full details and video footage of the hummingbird at theit site.  You can follow the link below to take a look.

Oregon Hummingbird Migration?

Posted by Filed Under Hummingbird Bird Feeder with 1 Comment

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!

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)
