Great Hummingbird DVD

For all of those who saw Hummingbirds: Magic in Air, and are looking for some more hummingbird magic check out First Flight.

First flight follows the dedicated efforts of a tiny black-chinned hummingbird (nicknamed Honey by filmmakers Don Carroll and Noriko Carroll) to lay, incubate, and hatch two tiny raisin-sized eggs and raise the fledgling chicks. The film begins with remarkable nest-building close-ups; the soft fiber bird home rests on the Carroll's porch clothesline in Las Vegas. Inventive 360-degree macro shots follow the progress, including egg development, incubation, hatching, feedings, nest defense (including chasing away the Carrolls' cat), and first flight. Honey's protective and attentive mothering is enlivened through Noriko Carroll's informative and humorous narration and rich musical soundtrack.  Order First Flight by clicking on the link below.
