Hummingbird Movies
What follows are a collection of slow-motion movies of hummingbirds. In some cases, a male hummingbird is sparring with a female at the feeder. These were taken in June, 2008 at our mountain cabin in Colorado using a Phantom Miro 4 camera. Most were shot at 1000 pictures-per-second.
