[Aztlan] Awesome Hummingbird Videos

[Elaine Day Schele]

Hola Listeros:

Is it any wonder that ancient Mesoamericans revered this little bird?: 

>From the National Geographic Magazine webpage: "They are winged jewels, fluttering orbs of iridescent feathers. But don't let their delicate beauty fool you; hummingbirds are, in fact, hearty, long-lived creatures that survive in unforgiving environments. Hummingbird expert Ernie Franzgrote gives you a close-up look at these much loved fliers."

When you get to the webpage link pasted below, just click on the words "launch video" below the image.  It takes a few minutes to watch them all, but the webpage will cycle through all 11 of the species listed:
