Very impressive shots of hummers which ARE difficult to film because they move very erratically, and very fast. Very informative, too. Despite the numerous Costa's hummingbirds in my area all year, a lot of tidbits about the behavior of hummers that I never knew are presented here. Costa's in my experience don't like water; apparently Anna's do. Fearless of humans is characteristic of them, as well as ruby throateds. And why not? You could never catch one.
