PBS made an amazing show about hummingbirds called Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air. They utilized special cameras to capture the birds fast movements. These birds are fascinating creatures, and so is learning about what it took to make this show a reality. Here is a behind the scenes on the project from the nature podcast:
Hummingbirds are the smallest warm blooded creature, and they beat their wings 200 times every second. They are cute, beautiful, and a bit mysterious.

I love Capybaras for many reasons, and this video just shows how adorable they can be! Watch as these guys just roll over to have their bellies scratched. They look so content!
The baby capybara is adorable too, I love these guys when they are little:

The World Equestrian Games have begun! The games take place every 4 years, 2 years before the next olympic games. This year they take place in Kentucky, from September 25th to October 10th.
The games are the world championships for 8 different disciplines: dressage, driving, endurance, eventing, jumping, para dressage, reining, and vaulting. To read more about these and how they are judged see About the Games.

A schedule of events is available at alltechfeigames.com, as well as a link to buy tickets, see more about individual athletes, news and to purchase official merchandise.
There are some interesting items available for the games:
Silver medallion — $159.99 (also available in other metals)
Various apparel, this ladies shirt $20
Breyer horse figures
Offical model horse “Esprit”
That model is only availabe in porcelain for $100, but they do have a set of Stablemate models that represent the 8 disicpines for only $32.
If you happen to live in the US, finding the games on TV is a bit difficult. NBC has the official rights to air the games, and has around six and a half hours planned – but only on Sundays. One Sunday of coverage has already passed, but October 2nd, from 1 -6 EST, they will air eventing cross country and jumping phases and on October 1oth, from 4-6 EST, show jumping and the closing ceremonies. Much more of the games will be broadcast on Universal Sports. For a more detailed schedule and more information check out Regarding Horses.
There is also another option for watching the games online, at feitv.org. I was really excited about this option, but the prices are too much for me to be able to watch – $13 for a day or $35 for a month.
I may not get to see any of the games this year, but I hope that you guys can watch and enjoy the games!
I am back, for the week at least. I leave again Sunday for some time at Disney and helping out a friend, so I will probably not be blogging much in the next three weeks. But I have some interesting stories and things planned for after that!
