Ruby Throated Hummingbird Video

Ruby Throated Hummingbird Video

May 12, 2021 Elizabeth

We shot this video on our hummingbird nectar feeder. We’ve had several coming repeatedly now every day. It’s the most we’ve had around, exciting! I’m so glad we got the nectar out for the early migrators. We captured this video on 2X speed with GoPro Hero 9 Black. I’ve been experimenting with this camera some, but still have a lot more to learn about it. The motion detection features are in the Labs firmware, and I struggle sometimes with the documentation. We caught these videos of hummingbirds feeding and also a little chase! They are getting more bold now, buzzing us and Duke in the yard this week.
