Slow down and enjoy the birds. Feeder birds like titmice and chickadees are fun to watch, but they move so fast it’s hard to fully appreciate their flying skills. So Tim and Russell Laman used a 1,000-frames-per-second camera to slow down the action, revealing a whole ballet of intricate motions involved in landing at a feeder.

These little birds turn their bodies vertically in mid-air and almost fly backwards, braking with their tail and using their long legs as shock absorbers to stop on a dime. They’re so different from larger birds like Mourning Doves. At super-slo-mo, you can see how each feather works, and understand the whirl of motion you see at feeders every day.
