If you live in the metro area, this show will be shown on Sunday eve Sept 25 at 7:00 pm. (TODAY) It will be rerun on Weds Sept 28 at 7:00 pm. This is according to my TPT Magazine for September 2011. I don't know if the same schedule pertains in the outstate. Also schedules can change. "check your listings"
It really is a remarkable show that includes extreme slow-motion that allowed researchers to determine how exactly hummers catch gnats in flight and at what instant in the dive the male Allen's hummingbird flares his tail for acoustic effect when courting a female. (The director is the wife of Richard Prum from Yale (ex- KS U) who studies the evolution of feathers. She also did "Cuba: the Forgetten Eden" for PBS 'Nature') It also covers the changes in hummer spp distribution in Louisiana.
