When an audio clip arrived in our ‘in-box’ from a buddy, Joel Preston Smith, featuring a live ZOOM recording of hummingbirds dive-bombing his feeder in rural Liberty, WV., wings a-whirring, we asked if we might illustrate it with some action-packed hummingbird video, gathered from Pexels.com.

Thanks for the audio from Joel who taped his ZOOM recorder to a pole a half-foot from the feeder. The hummingbird video clips are by Asko and Kelly Lacy (pexels.com); and still photos by Candi Foltz and Chris Charles (unsplash.com).
