I bought this Dvd for my father and he loved it. I went home to watch it with him and I must admit the camera stills are stunning. If you are a humming bird enthusiast I would highly recommend this product.

My wife and I love hummingbirds! We have three kinds that visit our feeders, Anna's, Black-chinned and Rufous. They are a joy to watch. Until we watched this video, some of their behavior was a mystery to us. We had assumed we were watching territorial disputes between the males and courting between the male and females. We were right! This video captures some amazing footage of hummingbirds doing some amazing things. There are scenes of hummingbirds in their natural habitat and in gardens. There is one scene in particular of many, many hummingbirds in one garden feeding that you've got to see. I wish the video was longer but based on the Behind the Scenes featurette, it was difficult to make.
My one and only gripe about this video is the ridiculous assumptions of how the THEORY of evolution influenced these beautiful creatures in their behavior and development. There is no question that micro-evolution exists but the kind of evolution that is discussed in this video is absurd. At any rate, this doesn't ruin the video at all and it's just my opinion. For any hummingbird lover or anyone interested in birds, this is a FANTASTIC video!

I had chance to watch just part of this exciting video on TV. I searched an internet and was very happy to find it at Amazon. It's fascinating DVD. It shows so many iteresting aspects about life of these birds. I highly recommend it to all.

This is a beautiful video of many many types of hummingbirds, and really aesthetically pleasing. great video work - high res and slow speed. recommend for anyone interested in nature. good for kids, lots of slow moving pictures --- my 2 yr old kid goes around saying "birdie" and can recognize the one that comes in our yard.

We watched part of this video on PBS-tv....and then ordered it on Amazon.com

The photography is UNBELIEVABLE, and we really got an education on hummingbirds.

Did you know they flap their little wings in a figure-8 formation?

Awesome video!

I have a hummingbird feeder outside my dining room window. It took two weeks for them to discover the feeder, now they come nonstop.

I love these little magical critters.

This is an amazing film that is a must for both the serious and the backyard bird watcher alike. Incredible videography with background info and a great story line.

Saw this on public television and had to buy it for my parents. They are big "birders."

I saw this video on PBS TV - what a great video of hummingbirds! I had to have it. One of the best nature videos I've ever seen. So well done... the photography is amazing. The slow motions really show how the birds acheive what they do. Lots of birds included that you don't encounter in USA. And not enough of the ones that are here for my taste. But still belongs in the library of anyone who loves hummers, as I do.

Every year my wife and I await the coming of our backyard guests. Although they virtually dissappear during the maiting and hatching season, they come back to visit with us for the rest of the summer. We usually hang several feeders around our deck and enjoy their actions until early October. When we saw this program on PBS, we knew it was a must for our library and took advantage of the DVD from Amazon.It helps us to better understand the life of our little friends.
