"Super Hummingbirds" premieres Oct 12, 2016 on PBS. Check local listings. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/super-hummingbirds-about/14472/

Spring is the time to nest for the Costa's hummingbirds, before the desert gets too hot. Both males and females are looking for a partner, but it's up to him to impress her.

He flexes the iridescent feathers of his mantle until they become a glowing mask of violet.
