Hehehe; I'm feeling the same way. FWIW, I found a nifty little gadget that will allow you to record from your non-digital camcorder and transfer it to your PC. It's not to user friendly, and no decent manual comes with it, but it was easy enough for me to figure out. I have an older Sony HandyCam. Unfortunately the videos do take up alot of disk space, but I've learned to copy then burn. It was the best $20 I'd ever spent ;)

Now I just need to find the time to go through my 5 tapes of dd to find the hummer videos!!!

Sounds interesting tracy. I just had a hunch someone would come up with something that would work for non-digital cams. When I was flipping thru my videos I was surprised that I had that clip, but delighted to view it, over and over and over. later Steve

Actually, most of the temperate west coast have resident Annas hummingbirds. I'm in Portland OR, have family in Seattle WA, and friends in BC Canada and we are all lucky enough to have hummers year-around.

Yesterday it was 23 degrees... as soon as I went outside to bring in the feeder to thaw out, they flew over to "chit-chit-chit", and could barely wait until we hung them before coming over to feed.
