Ruby-throated Hummingbird

First attempt at capturing a hummingbird in flight, after many attempts and heavily cropped I think it is passable!
Thank you to Jane @jgpittenger for the great advice on what settings to use to capture a hummingbird in flight. We are in a heat wave right now so it may be a few days before I want to sit outside and wait for them to arrive.

I really appreciate your comments and favs on yesterday's photo of "A Storm was Coming In".

They're hard enough just to keep within the view finder but to capture them in focus and in a good pose is a real challenge. Nicely done!

[Lou Ann]

Thanks Jane @jgpittenger for your advice, this is heavily cropped.
My shutter was 1/2000, F 5.6, and iso 1600.
