I was photographing a hummingbird at this flower when a second hummingbird approached. Normally one bird chases away the other but not this time. As the second bird approached it stopped and got in the same focal plane as the first one. Amazing to me as my depth of field per my depth of field calculator was about one inch. I had never captured two hummingbirds in one photo let alone both of them in focus. Very lucky and fortunate.
