More slow motion hummingbirds

Last year I posted a vid that Rick made with a camera ( Phantom Miro 4)  that the company he works for makes. That little video ended up being shown in many places, including a segment on the History Channel!  Everyone seemed to enjoy the slo-mo vids, so here are two more one second clips he made a few weeks ago. Keep in mind that these were shot at 1,000 frames per second. I tried to count wing beats and came up with somewhere around 76 wing beats per second. See what you come up with!
