I am trying the videos, this is a short clip taken near the local farmhouse.

Very cool - we have a bunch of Anna's around our house year long but I have never seen this spectacle before. Thanks for sharing it!

Alan, this is the slow-motion video, it's 1/4 of the original speed. Humming Bird is a challenging subject to photography (at least to me), the little devil can fly in any direction at any moment. I have spent many hours taking pictures of it.

Taking videos is a bit harder, often I wait for a couple of hours before the birds come in, it's quite good fun though.

This is so cool Oliver! That’s a great local farmhouse you have.

And it’s great to have you post the video as I hope our video contributions continue to grow.

Yes, Jim, Humming bird is quite photogenic, I am trying various ways to record the birds in action.

Check with Eric Gofreed on the site to get ideas about how to capture these fantastic birds. He is a master.

Really great video Oliver, the water and hummer make a great combo.
