A very difficult shot. Hummingbirds are always quick enought...

You should wait until they back off from the feeder so it doesn't distract from the hummer. They'll sip, back off, sip, back off, and so on. They almost always back off to the same spot so you can pre-focus the first time they back off and snap the pic on the second time.
