Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center

28 Feb, 06 AM - 29 Apr, 10 PM

Filming the breeding behaviour of Costa's hummingbirds, including courtship displays, nest building, incubation and potentially fledging for a series in production for National Geographic about the wildlife and landscapes of North America. Finishing the shoot which was started in 2020 but interrupted by flash flooding and COVID-19. 2x crew (Eleanor Paish and camera operator, currently pencilled as Alex Jones although this may change) are proposed for a period of three weeks within March. It is requested that David Rankin assist for a period of 4-5 days at the beginning of the period, although it is not essential if we are required to have minimal crew. All crew would be staying in offsite accommodation and would operate completely independently of Boyd Deep Canyon Facilities. Crew would travel into the area in one vehicle, and filming would be limited to Coyote Wash with absolutely no contact with any other individuals at Boyd Deep Canyon. Crew will be tested for COVID-19 prior to the start of the shoot, and if necessary tested regularly within the filming period. No handling of animals in any way is planned, and filming will be conducted in a way that does not disturb animal behaviour, with the exception of putting out one or two temporary feeders in strategic locations with prior permission from Boyd Deep Canyon.
