Hummingbirds video
Does anyone know if you can post digital camera videos on here? I just tried to do so the same way you do photos and it failed. I got some great video of about 5 hummingbirds having a feeding frenzy around my hummingbird feeders on the front porch, have been seeing as many as 8.
I guess there is no way to do so. I have a Fuji Finepix 2800 camera, 6X optical zoom, 2.0 megapixels. This weekend is the weekend for the annual hummingbird migration at the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, MS, which is an hour from us. I am wanting to go and take my digital camera to take pictures and record also.
Ok. I got what I wanted posted on here. The video is below.

Thanks Ocean Lover. If I can figure out how to do that I will. I am computer savvy somewhat but not like my husband. I can post pictures all day but video with sound is a different story.

I do too DD. Even with the volume up all the way it was not really loud. They buzzed my ear several times while I was out there filming them. 
When I am hanging the feeders back up after filling them there is always one within two feet of my face chattering away at me. There is a good hummingbird sight called worldofhummingbirds.com which tells all about them and their habits. You can listen to their different sounds they make. One is referred to as the Look At Me, Here I Am sound. That is the one I always get when I am hanging their feeders back up.

Lady D, you have to go to the " View SoWal Videos" button on SoWal.com's main page, rather than the "images," on the forums, to upload video. Then, you register with the SoWal video up-loader, and can upload your vids directly to SoWal.com

We went to the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, MS to see the hummingbirds today. There were many feeders out back of this 1800's home and they had a viewing room where you could sit and watch the birds feed on the feeders. Unfortunately you were not allowed out back where the feeders were to see the birds up close.
There were tents set up all over with hummingbird feeders for sale, books on hummingbirds. One tent had a hawk and an owl at their booth. I missed the 3:00 o'clock show at one tent with live bats. I wanted to see that. One had snakes and one had spiders. No thanks to those.
For those that don't know this about hummingbirds. If you do not see them feeding much during early spring it is because nesting time is between March and June.
This place we went to today sits on 2500 acres, and has 5 walking trails. We walked two of them. We got home today and there were around 10 hummers on our feeders out front. With three feeders full we still have two hummers trying to keep the other birds off of two of the other feeders. Talking about selfish. But that is their nature. They are getting better about sharing though. I've been seeing 4 on one of the feeders together. And more than two on one other feeder. Finally maybe they are learning to share somewhat.

It was nice. As we were walking along one of the nature trails we came upon some graves in the woods to the left of the path. They were on a little hill. But as for coming upon graves in the woods. Talking about creepy.
To the right of the path is a dried out creek bed. And I hear you about the feeders with places for them to sit. We have four and all have places for them to sit. We won't buy any other kind. The first few pictures were where this man was banding the birds. I definitely wanted to see that.
I definitely plan on going back next spring. But I will wait until after nesting season until around July.
