This is a female ruby-throated, feeding at Bee Balm wildflowers.
In most cases, the hummingbird(s) only spend a second or two
feeding at one flower before flying away, rarely going to any of the other ones that are also blooming.  A mirrorless camera with the
high frame rate, silent shutter, and the auto-focus tracking modes
that they have, would be an advantage for this type of photography,
I'm sure.  Regardless, it's always great to see and photograph
the hummingbirds, when they are here in the spring and summer.

Really a remarkable shot, I love the side view of the hummingbird so framed by the flowers.

My reaction was similar to Dave's.....you seem to be doing very well with your current equipment capturing very nice images of hummingbirds in natural light. Very nice framing of the hummingbird in this well composed shot.
