This is part 3 of 4 video segments of hummingbirds growing up in our garden. This video captured days 21-22 of the lone baby hummer attempting to fly. Watch the baby chick shoot poo!

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.

One of my favorite nature vids I’ve done! It was so awesome being able to earn the hummingbird’s trust! It took nearly an hour before they got used to my presence, and after that they would come within inches of me! Hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching!

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
