All of these clips are from one 30 minute DVD recorded the afternoon of September 7, 2007. I had at least 50 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds spend some time at my house as they were migrating to Central America to spend the winter.
One section of the movie has the speed doubled to shorten the movie and still show how many hummingbirds were present. It is fairly easy to hand feed hummers when you have this many around.

I was amazed of the amount of hummingbirds. I love it!

Bryan, Thanks for the comment and I love it too when there are many hummingbirds migrating through. The more the better - I can get more photos and videos.

Wow Russ. I have worked very hard to get the few hums I have to hand feed. I have had success, but I have never seen so many birds, migrating or otherwise. The few I have just leave. I love hearing the squeaks and chirps they make, and I envy you in a bird-loving way for the wonderful experiences you have! Thank you so much for sharing this. During regular feeding season, how many might visit you at one time?

Hi Peg - the most I have had in my yard is around 50 - the most I have had eat from a hand-held feeder base at one time is 3 - during the summer months I have under 10 most of the time - just migration brings in 30 to 50

How long do the migrating ones visit you on their way through?
It's a beautiful thing to see. Thank you so much for sharing your love of them and the wonderful photos and videos.
