Hummingbird: Butler Prairie
At least 4 Hummingbirds this morning at Butler Prairie. Lucky to catch this one during takeoff. They are unbelievably fast and hard to catch on camera. Great documentary on Prime tells that Hummingbirds need to eat every 15 min, can control their heartbeat from 30-1200 bpm, can hover and fly in any direction and somehow can fly long non-stop distances over the Gulf of Mexico. Wonderfully engineered. 1/640s, f6.3, ISO 200
