Hummers are very challenging and rewarding to shoot, with a camera of course.
My best shots were taken on a tripod with the camera prefocused on an area where the birds normally feed. I the used a remote shutter release from in the house. I used as high SS as possible with an f-stop in the 11-16 range and AI servo to take several shots at a time. The results were well worth the energy and time taken to set it up.
Very nice shots by the way.

Thank you, these were taken with a D3100 and Sigma 150-500 prefocused appox 10 ft away mounted on tripod using remote release and firing multiple shots also.

My biggest challenge is the ruby throated hummers and the black heads being to dark compared to the rest of the body (going to try a small metal bell shaped drop light mounted above and point downward and see the results )

Great way to spend a rainy day. I like to see movement in the wings. Good shots.

I have the same situation with reduced shutter speed. Have done some research and found that the Canon EOS I have moves down to 200 when the flash is turned on.
