Today is kind of gloomy and, though I wanted to shoot some still images again today, I don't like the look of flash photography for most wildlife and decided to shoot a little video instead. What you will find are some clips of Rufous Hummingbirds (watch for the male's yawn right after the beginning of the second clip during the title), Western Bluebirds, brief looks at a male Cassin's Finch and a Mountain Chickadee, and then some fun with a Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying a bath (look for it flashing its little patch of yellow on the rump).

Great video! What camera do you use to take that?
It's an older - had it 5 years or so - Canon ZR85 digital (miniDV tape), 20X optical zoom. Nothing fancy by any means. Do all my edits in Adobe Premiere Elements. Want to get HD someday, but this will have to do for now . . .
