Panicky_Patzer@wonderofscience I can't believe how still its head and beak remain while flying.
millennial fulcrum@wonderofscience WOW!!! 2 miracles at once, firstly the splendour of the super-eningeered superavian operating at supersonic speed with mind blowing superprecision, and secondly your supercamera with the sheer gumption to deal with dat 🤌

@wonderofscience this is incredible! Have you thought uploading it to Wikimedia Commons? It would be a blunt.

Annelies@wonderofscience #ALT4you A hummingbird comes in for a landing at a red hummingbird feeder. It takes a long sip while its wings are in constant motion for balance, then disengages and hangs almost out of frame, presumably looking for its next flower.
nerdette@wonderofscience If hummingbirds were dinosaurs, what would they look like?
Erica Laeta@wonderofscience Amazing and lovely. 🥰
