I wanted to share this with so many here on UHH.
So I thought I would share the link.
My wife got a PBS notification on her phone to preview Super Hummingbirds.

She wanted me to see it, so I did some searching and nailed it.
I was blown away at the outstanding videography and knowledge here.

I can't remember how long I have been feeding Hummingbirds here, but it has been year round and non-stop.
Presently I go through about a gallon every 2 days, with 5 large feeders (28 ounces).
I, and my neighbors stopping by, love watching the these little flying jewels. And the babies coming to the feeders often fly up to withing 10"-12" to look into my eyes. What is this strange human giant?

Enjoy!

I will sometimes sit in a lawn chair close to a feeder using a 180 macro + 1.4x on my 7DII (403 mm AOV) after they get used to me I become just part of the landscape. I have had two playing "chase the birdie" over whose feeder it is circle my head coming under the brim of my fedora (Indiana Jones hat). I felt what was either air displaced or a wing tip on my ear. The manager of the potted plant section at the local Lowe's has the ones that nest in the garden department to the point one landed on her shoulder while she was answering my question. "She is trying to tell me it is time to refill the feeder and turn on the mister. They use it for a shower."

Wow, Thanks for that post. I love hummers and have a feeder outside my office window so I can watch while I work. That video has stunning visuals as well as being the most informative one I've ever seen about hummingbirds. Well worth the hour to watch in it's entirety.

WOW!!! There is no other word to express the wonder I experienced while watching the video. Fantabulous might come close, but that’s not a real word. Thank you so much for posting the link.
