Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center

29 Feb, 07 AM - 10 Mar, 07 PM

We intend to film the breeding behaviour of Costa's hummingbirds, including courtship displays, nest building, incubation and potentially fledging. 2x crew (Eleanor Paish and Alex Jones) are proposed for a period of four weeks within March, with an additional director (Tom Stephens) joining them for one week within that period. David Rankin would assist for a period of 5 days within the period. All crew would be staying in offsite accommodation. No handling of animals in any way is planned, and filming will be conducted in a way that does not disturb or change animal behaviour, with the exception of putting out one or two temporary feeders in strategic locations with prior permission from Boyd Deep Canyon, and using a female specimen to elicit courtship displays if necessary.
