Red Rock Films was in the GNG for a couple of days this week, filming hummingbirds for an up-coming National Geographic special on California. Using regular and extremely high-speed video cameras, they were able to capture stunning footage of hummingbirds feeding and interacting in the garden.
Hummingbirds were the focus of the day, but a quick thinking cinematographer was able to capture this Hooded Oriole taking off from its perch. Keep in mind that this slow motion clip represents about one second in human time – thank you for sharing the footage Owen!
