Hummingbirds

ZeFrank is an American online performance artist, composer, humorist and public speaker according to the Wiki entry which also notes that he has a degree in neuroscience from Brown University. Nerdcore comedy is what he is about which I take to mean: geek humor.

ZeFrank does some great videos about nature's creatures called True Facts. They are exactly that: true. His narration often drives me batty--especially the odd pronunciations, as well as his kind of  humor which has been typed, accurately for me, as "Beavis and Butt-Head" humor. The videos though never fail in richness, fascination and in showing the results of the power of natural selection. And there is more real science in these videos than I find in many other films about nature.

A few days ago, maybe longer, Jerry Coyne whose website WEIT, is one of the crown jewels on the web, posted one I hadn't seen on hummingbirds (12m 30s). This entry did not elicit the usual number of comments (30 to 150+); only eight and I recommend you read them, perhaps after viewing this stunning video. Hummers are even more amazing than I thought.
