Hummingbirds are amazing little creatures, so fast and ephemeral. Yet they are also so difficult to see for very long with the naked eye. This YouTube video is a clip of a PBS Nature program called Magic in the Air, which gives us more than a fleeting glimpse of these captivating animals. See the full video here.
Ann Johnson Prum is the cinematographer and as you learn in the video she uses hi-speed computer-controlled cameras to capture these tough-to-capture energetic hummingbirds. It’s beautiful to watch. Enjoy.
