The secret:
I put duct tape on most of the spigots to force the hummingbirds where I wanted them. I arranged the camera so that it was looking directly across the feeder so that a sitting bird would be broadside on and all in one plane. I also arranged the camera so that the plants across the yard made a nice bokeh background. The result is that the depth of field ALMOST gets the whole bird in focus at one time. The range from the front of the lens to the hummingbird was about 1.5 feet.

Much like the Allan's Hummingbird's I found these to be abundant and they also used the same perches over and over again as they moved about there territory. I found several putting on aerial displays in there attempt to lure a mate. although they did seem to mix somewhat there were definite territories established that were predominantly Allan's and vice versa. also they did not seem to care for each other much at they were active in running each other off when boundaries were crossed.
