The meanest, nastiest territorial squabblers of them all

This 3-minute
clip is from a Knowledge
Network “Leading Edge” program
on hummingbirds, broadcast in 2006.
It features an interview about hummingbirds
and shows me carving
Torso in Motion
and Holding Firm at 65.

Sometimes interviews
are fun, but they can be a pain.
This one was fun because of the subject
matter, all of which was fun for me
to study.  What I say in the clip
about the value to humans
of stories about humm-
ingbirds is true,
I think.

The more
we learn about the
intelligence of  wild animals,
the more we learn about ourselves.

  1. I very much enjoyed this video. Lee, I worked at AAHE in Washington, DC as an administrative assistant on the grant that you had with the Carnegie Foundation. I always remembered your name associated with hummingbirds. A family member (my mom) recently got interested in hummingbirds, so I found your website to share with her.
