Just checking what's on tonight and noticed this:

It was amazing, and they were able to film things never filmed before.


Super Hummingbirds | Full Episode | Nature | PBS


Hummingbirds are amazing creatures to behold. They are the tiniest of birds, yet possess natural born super powers that enable them to fly backwards, upside-down, and float in mid-air. Their wings beat faster than the eye can see and the speed at which they travel makes people wonder if it was indeed a hummingbird they actually saw. They also are only found in the Americas. These attributes have both intrigued scientists and made it challenging to study the species, but with the latest high-speed cameras and other technologies, Super Hummingbirds reveals new scientific breakthroughs about these magical birds.

Thanks for posting this.

I just saw this today, and I'll definitely save the link and watch it online.

We see hummers around our front garden during the summer from time to time.
