Awesome video Scott! How fortunate you are to have been able to witness such amazing nature! Have you had a lot of experience with bears around your lodge? It seems to me that dealing with bears could be a bit dangerous, especially when they have cubs with them. You should inform your guests at the lodge about how to act if they encounter a bear, as I’m sure many people (myself included!) wouldn’t know what to do. Alaska Centers has an informative page here: http://www.alaskacenters.gov/bear-safety.cfm. Be sure to post more videos of any other great footage around Alaska!

Loved the video and overall story. However, one thing should have been mentioned: THAT THE PEOPLE WHO HAND-FEED THESE SMALL BIRDS WASH AND DISINFECT THEIR HANDS BEFORE PUTTING THE NECTAR INTO THEM. The birds can contract e-coli, and other bacteria, from human hands.

Thanks.

Feeding humming birds satisfies the person’s needs, not the birds’. While I agree that the pictures and the video are truly amazing, I’d say let the birds live the way nature intends them to live, and try to find peace in knowing that your inaction actually saves the birds lives. Please do not offer any commercial options with tourists involving humming birds even if your intentions were pure to begin with. God bless you.

A beautiful, amazing video!! I love watching these guys hover around and on our feeder. Early in your video a small banner pops up about your nectar recipe and substitute for the red dye and a request to read the description. I was unable to access that information and was curious as to where I might find it. I use 1 part water to 4 parts raw sugar with no color added. I think the red coloring is possibly more attractive to them. Thanks for making your wonderful video available to us.

Hummingbirds are birds that can fly backwards which most bird can’t do it. and it can flap wings 12 to 90 times which is fastest than the other birds. This kind bird is small but fascinating.

The video looks amazing. I think the hummingbirds eating out of my hand would be an experience that I would look forward to. I could almost feel the tickling sensation when the birds land on my hand.

I have taught a robin to feed from my hand but it took a number of weeks to get to that stage. For these tiny hummingbirds to so readily do this really does seem like a miracle. Many thanks for a really amazing video.
