Impressive hummingbird video

Narrated by the inimitable David Attenborough. Features a man in Arizona who is visited by as many as 9,000 hummingbirds in a single day (he puts out 13 gallons of sugar water). His rural home is directly on the birds migration route and probably essential for "refueling" before continuing a long flight. Probably for commercial reasons, this video can't be embedded (that's a screencap on the left), but you can view it HERE. It's worth the two minutes.
