Protecting my nest

Description

I will end with the beginning. This was actually the first capture I took while the mother humming bird was still sitting on the two eggs. She looked so proud and protecting. I stayed a long distance away from her so as not to frighten or startle her.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D

What a lovely little capture, I know these birds must be so hard to capture because of their size! #11422404
