Ruby Throated Humming Bird (Female)

I live in Louisiana and humming birds are beginning their migratory journey back north. This was taken in my backyard with our swimming pool as a backdrop, hence the blue background. I set up under a pergola and behind a confederate jasmine vine to conceal my position. I also wrapped my tripod with camo netting. I use a Really Right Stuff tripod, Nikon Z9 with a Nikon 400 f4 S lens with a 2x converter. I shot at AFC (20/sec). The sun was 45 degrees left of my position early morning.
