Incredible active isolation of hummingbird’s head and eyes from the powerful cyclic drive of its wings.

Yes. a marvel of video recording. Like to view the works of Mr. Edgerton (founder of EG&G military contractor/spyworks, cameras, etc. also filmed the explosion of the first atomic bomb at Alamagordo).

The stroboscope his development. Here’s a lady with hummingbirds (still photo stop action):

“isolation of head and eyes”? Not sure what you mean. What I noticed was the fanned out tail feathers til it hit the water then tail got tucked in. After slicing through with one wing, the head rotation seemed to help restore balance.
