 Hooked on Hummingbirds October 19, 2005

Not the slickest production; but the photography is fantastic! I especially liked the fact that it featured local (So. Cal.) species. So much of the literature, both written and visual, is centered on the Eastern U.S. that it is nice to see the local birds starring.
"Hooked on Hummingbirds" Dazzles!! August 26, 2005

We just loved "Hooked on Hummingbirds" and would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who already knows a lot about hummingbirds or someone just starting to learn. This incredibly detailed account of how hummingbirds live and how we live with them is just too special to miss. You'll be treated to "astonishing behaviors that the naked eye never sees", experience intimate explorations of hummingbirds flying (even upside down!), feeding, fighting, at play, mating and giving birth, all accompanied by beautiful music, some of it written and performed by Tom's daughter. The day-to-day account of the young female Ann's hummingbird building her nest, laying her eggs, and caring for the chicks is one of the finest segments of this DVD. The footage is shot in Southern California, Southeastern Arizona, Costa Rica, New Mexico and Texas, and shows 20 different species of hummingbirds (and many other interesting birds.) In addition to the western and tropical species, the Ruby-throated hummingbird, which breeds in the Eastern part of the U.S. is shown. Inspiration, romance, humor, tragedy, and drama are just a few of the elements that Kaminski embraces to make this DVD the greatest DVD about hummingbirds ever made! If you only purchase one DVD about hummingbirds, we believe that "Hooked on Hummingbirds" should be your first choice!

I am a hummingbird rehabilitator in the greater Scottsdale and Phoenix areas. I have been saving hummingbirds for about 15 years. I have found the DVD of " Hooked On Hummingbirds" very
useful in training new docents; and to inform the public at
small meetings. I am most anxious on receipt of the other two DVD's; especially the one on rehabilitation.
The DVD is a wonderful collection of pictures and information. Thanks for taking the time on pursuing such a tiny subject.
Hooked on Hummingbirds is incredible December 20, 2004

In my opinion, Hooked on Hummingbirds is one of the best hummingbird DVD's available. Not only does it show almost all North American hummingbird species, it has incredible footage of hummingbird behavior and ecology. I have never seen better footage of a female feeding two nestlings or of hummingbirds hawking insects. It's this emphasis on hummingbird ecology that sets this DVD apart.
Mr. Kaminski dedicated two years of his life for making this video. And it shows. The quality of the film and organization of the DVD is excellent. Mr. Kaminski researched and consulted experts on hummingbirds to create a well-balanced and accurate understanding of what we know about hummingbirds today.
Viewers are thoroughly entertained while they learn about hummingbirds. I highly recommend this DVD and give it 5 stars.

This is some good footage folks.We see hummingbirds feeding(themselves and their babies) flying (sometimes upside down), fighting (we see alot of that) and nest building, in this dvd. It is very educational and entertaining . It shows about 20 different varieties. Keep in mind that this is the only dvd available about hummers. If you love hummers get this.
