Hummers could not survive only on nectar. They need the protein found in insects and they do eat quite a few of them. They hawk them out of the air or glean them off the bark and leaves of trees.

Conditions are often less than ideal, especially for this kind of shot, and I think you did a great job capturing the action.

Maybe I should have known or guessed this but until you mentioned it, I never thought about what they feed their babies.
I'm getting some good new info from this thread.
Thanks
