Hummingbirds For MomThis video combines the use of video and still highlights from a hummingbird banding workshop in southwestern Colombia in March 2007. The workshop was sponsored by The Hummingbird Conservancy and taught by biologists from the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory.
I especially enjoyed the still highlights myself because it allowed me to see the birds up close. There were numerous species shown on there that I had never before heard of let alone seen. Maybe the same will also be true for you. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video.
Don’t let the fact that you have a limited amout of space, like a small deck , keep you from trying to attract hummingbirds, because it can be successfully done. You just have plant the right types of flowers to attract them. This video shows them eating from Fuschia triphylla, ‘Lady in Red’ salvia, Mexican sunflowers (Tithonia), and calibrachoa (Million Bells).
I found it quite interesting to see the hummingbirds up close and feeding from so many flowers. Usually, they feed so quickly that it isn’t something you can often fully appreciate. Enjoy!
