HUMMINGBIRD HILLS FLIR TOUR
Unveil the Hidden Pulse of the Forest
Track thermal heartbeats of hummingbirds with FLIR technology. Join filmmaker Eric Pittman for an exclusive, 3-hour expedition into the hidden world of hummingbirds.
You'll also be added to our Hummingbird Heartbeat Community: A bi-weekly email where I share rare nest footage and stories. You can unsubscribe anytime.
JOIN A FLIR TOUR EXPEDITION
I’ve spent 16 years documenting over 130 hummingbird nests by learning to see what the naked eye misses.
Because hummingbirds nests are so tiny, even the most seasoned observers can stand three feet from a nest and never see it. To bridge that gap, I rely on technology.
On this 3-hour guided walk, I put a FLIR thermal camera in your hands. You will learn how to track hummingbird heat signatures through the brush, allowing you to locate hidden nests and record your own infrared footage of these tiny athletes in real-time.
I use these same high-tech thermal methods for my work with the BBC, Netflix, and PBS. This is a rare opportunity to witness the "secret life" of the nest without disturbing the birds.
I’ll issue you a professional FLIR camera: I put a thermal imaging camera in your hands so you can track heat signatures for yourself.
Learn my "Secret Life" spotting techniques: I share the exact field cues I’ve used for the BBC and Netflix to find nests that are invisible to the naked eye.
Thermal Behavioral Study: Together, we will observe how these birds manage their energy and protect their young using real-time infrared data.
Take home your own infrared footage: You keep every clip you record on the trail, giving you a digital "souvenir" of the birds you personally tracked.
My exclusive "Greatest Hits" reel: I include a curated collection of my most rare hummingbird footage from my private archive as a thank-you for joining me.
I offer both public and private tours based on nesting activity and seasonal behavior. To protect the habitat and ensure a hands-on experience, group sizes are strictly limited.
