Not a Myth

One of the things I had wanted to do on vacation was film a hummingbird in slow-motion. Alas, I did not see any visiting the feeder I set up . Our condo was not situated in a good spot; location, location, location.

However, I thought I had hit the jackpot while out geocaching one day, when I stopped to film some butterflies and bees pollinating some flowers. It looked like a small hummingbird.
