The heavy rain briefly stopped and two thirsty hummingbirds appeared

 

This is the second one 




Love how the hummingbird spills some nectar while in flight





 


 Check out all the birds that visit the backyard
 
I used the Canon 60D with a Sigma 150-600 lens  
Here are the settings for these photos:
TV - Shutter priority
Shutter speed 1/8000
AI Servo AF
AF Point Selection Automatic selection 
(this works better than manual for the hummingbird)
Evaluative Metering
Drive Mode - High Speed Continuous
ISO - Auto
