Super Hummingbirds FULL SPECIAL | PBS America

With high-speed camerawork and breakthrough new science, we enter the fast-paced world of hummingbirds as never before. Their lives move faster than the eye can see, and they possess natural born superpowers that enable them to fly backwards, upside-down, and float in mid-air. For the first time, we see them mate, lay eggs, and raise families in intimate detail.

I can remember sitting on the deck of my grandparent's house, trying to coax one to land on my finger while they fed at my grandmother's feeders.

Who gets the credit for these gorgeous little creatures? It's not evolution! The man who set up the sophisticated camera and "designed" the flower lure who "controls" the amount of nectar in the flower gets more credit than the ultimate designer, God.

I have a very small appetite and prefer hummingbird eggs for breakfast.
