Which one would you choose for your wall? 🐦🌸

Last week, I shared six hummingbird photographs and asked which one was your favorite. Many of you voted in the comments and in my Stories.

Now I’m giving you another chance to weigh in!

I’m putting four of the photographs up for a fresh round of voting in my Stories. Take a look and let me know which one you’d be most likely to purchase as a fine art print for your home.

The photograph that ultimately wins will be added to my Fine Art Store before the holiday rush. 🎁

Head over to my Stories and cast your vote!

Which hummingbird would you want to see on your wall?

And if you haven’t seen it yet, check out my Wild Birds Revealed video on Anna’s and Costa’s hummingbirds, created in partnership with @CornellBirds. Three more episodes are coming soon! Link in Bio.

1/8000 of a second… and the wings STILL moved. 🤯

Swipe through these photos of an Anna’s hummingbird, all shot at 1/8,000 sec. Every frame captures a completely different wing position.

That’s how fast these tiny birds are moving. What looks like a blur to our eyes becomes an incredible sequence of precise movements when you freeze it with a camera.

This is in one of the burned areas within Gunung Palung National Park. Even after these fires are extinguished it will be a long road to return to the vibrant noisy habitat it once was. taken in Gunung Palung National Park by @timlaman

Magical male Costa’s hummingbird! The latest episode of Wild Birds Revealed slows down and zooms into the lives of Costa’s and Anna’s Hummingbirds.

These frenetic and almost impossibly small birds are hard to really see with a naked eye or even with binoculars. With @CornellBirds, we reveal incredible views and a better understanding of the seemingly chaotic nature of their lives.

Can you spot the wings? 👀

Every photo in this carousel was shot at 1/60 of a second. In some of them, the wings almost disappear! That's because hummingbird wings beat more than 50 times per SECOND! 🤯

Want to see them in motion? You can watch the hummingbird video on the newest episode of Wild Birds Revealed on All About Birds. Watch Now:

Anna's hummingbird preening in the Coachella Valley, California. I was there shooting for @cornellbirds Wild Birds Revealed video series. Scientists have calculated that this tiny bird needs to visit 1,840 specialized flowers to meet its energy requirements for 1 day! Check out the full video at link in bio or Stories.
Thanks to @OMsystems.cameras for making this video possible.
