A hummingbird’s brain
makes up around 4%
of its body weight.
It remembers every
flower it visits!

BRAINY
BIRDS

Hummingbirds are creatures of habit and
they make their rounds from flower to flower. Once I’ve
figured out their pattern, I begin timing and listening for
them, which allows me to get prepared and set for each
round. Typically, I start photographing them when they
reach 15-minute routine intervals. I use my Canon with
a 400mm prime lens at a 10-foot focal length.
