There are 2 versions of this video, filmed this afternoon and processed using iMovie. The first shows the whole sequence of her arriving, landing and settling in, played at normal speed. After a still (a photo of a Hyperion daylily flower taken at the Baiting Hollow Sanctuary), the first part of the video is shown with a ten-times reduced speed. Even though it's slowed down ten times, it's still quite difficult to see how she actually lands on the nest: after initially hovering near the nest, she makes a final dash and folds her wings in just a small fraction of a second.
A blog that provides up-to-date information about the world's leading (according to Google) hummingbird sanctuary, on high bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, Riverhead, New York. The sanctuary is private and not open to the general public. Paul's Email: paul.adams%stonybrook.edu. We sometimes livestream from the sanctuary, at youtube.com/channel/UCvTj9WdD0zItyBLI6m-U9Og/live
