Birdie, can you post examples? It sounds like some were focused but some were not, right? Was there any pattern to in/out of focus (ie, every third one in focus, etc)
I deleted all the out of focus shots. Next time, will keep them and post them. Not sure if there was a pattern or not, but it seems out of a burst of 8 shots at least 3 are out of focus totally or not in critical focus .
I have also read on some sites that there can be some out of focus shots in a sequence.
I was looking at the book by David Thorpe ( The Olympus E-M1Mk11 Menu System Simplified). This is his statement about sharpness using release Priority C - " In focus doesn't mean critically sharp , just sharp "
Not sure what he means, but I have noticed that - One shot will be critically sharp, the next sharp but not spot on sharp . I delete the not critically sharp. Will try and post some if that happens again.
It may be me and my shooting style combined lack of experience with the camera . I am definitely learning that I can not shoot like I use to. I feel like I am getting a better feel for the camera , but have still have a way to go before we are in harmony
Bobby may be pointing out part of the issue about low contrast and low light. Wish the hummers showed up when the light is better , not at dusk and after the rain. .
It's dark and raining again today, so no test shots.
Again, thank you for your insights , patience and help.

AF on a low-contrast subject in low light with a relatively slow lens is a challenge for any camera, and this could be part of the problem. Ordinarily, the E-M1.2's AF capability is second to none. When shooting in poor light it's probably best to stick with S-AF.
Bobby, you have described probably 75% of my shooting conditions. Green bird, green foliage , shade , foreground and background close to subject - all the things that make it more difficult to get that spot on critical focus.
