An engine start video I took of Sentimental Journey a B-17G WWII Bomber at the CAF Hangar at Falcon Field in Mesa Arizona. Be sure to turn up your speakers to hear the fantastic sound of the 1,200-hp Wright Cyclone radial engine starting. If you have never heard one of these aircraft start then you are in for a real treat! Video taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera and Canon EF 17-40mm F/4 L zoom lens. Sound was recorded from the on camera speaker. No editing this was right out of the camera.

house wren dropping food (spiders) off for the hatchlings to eat. neat how you can hear the hatchlings beg for food once the wren gets into the box.

still experimenting with 500D video capabilities – manual focus isn’t easy.

cool facts:
House Wrens nest inside tree holes and nest boxes. As the season progresses their nests can become infested with mites and other parasites that feed on the wren nestlings. Perhaps to fight this problem, wrens often add spider egg sacs into the materials they build their nests from. In lab studies, once the spiders hatched, they helped the wrens by devouring the nest parasites.
