Feeding at bee balm, with a fast shutter; Coralita flying backwards

Here's a video showing a hummingbird (probably Coralita) feeding at bee balm Monarda didyma using a 1/2000 shutter speed, which allows the wing motion to be seen. 2X slo-mo


And here's a 2.5 second clip from this sequence played back at 16X slo mo.


Next, a video showing feeding at a video (1/2000 shutter, 2X slo mo). This one has a pure silver throat and is likely a juvenile female, possibly Coralita. At the end she flies backwards away from the feeder.


and here's a clip of the end part, at 16X slo mo.
