One second in time

More slo-mo as requested. Some of you may find this vid boring. Others will be fascinated to find out that the total time elapsed in making this vid was only one second. That’s it. I tried to count the number of wing beats and I came up with something like 72. Can you imagine beating your wings 72 times in one second?

I’m never bored watching the Hummingbirds.

I lost count…

But Holy Cow! One second? I knew it was slo-mo, but that really puts it into perspective!

Wow, I counted about that too. In one second?? Amazing. I noticed to that most of the vid the bird pretty much stayed in one spot…like it had been hung there by a string. That’s just incredible.

Prayers for your FIL. Glad he came through the surgery okay and I am sure the infection will clear soon.

I am getting tired just watching that. They must live in a different space/time continuim than we do!

Beautiful. I am sending a link to my sister-in-law. She loves birds, especially hummers.
