OK, just one more hummingbird shot and then on to something else tomorrow. She looks like she's doing a swan dive. This probably isn't the best view of a hummingbird I've ever captured, but it's my all-time favorite bokeh. You could clone out the bird and I'd still like the shot. 8)
These shots the last couple of days are all Rufous Hummingbirds, by the way (someone asked). The females are green on their backs with that reddish-gold under their wings and tails. The males are reddish-gold all over. Those spots on their necks are irridescent red in bright sunlight, like a ruby-throated hummingbird. Here in Northern California they'll hang around all winter if you keep the feeders full.
