I discovered this Anna's hummingbird nest in the tree behind the pharmacy where I work at Kaiser Hospital in Harbor City, a suburb of Los Angeles, CA. It provides a great opportunity to try out my Pentax K10D DSLR. The nest (you can't imagine how TINY it is) is about 30 feet away from my vantage point. All shots are taken at 200mm using the Pentax DA 50-200mm F4-5.6ED lens, cropped at 50% then post-processed using Paint Shop Pro XI, mostly highlights and brightness adjustment. As events are ongoing (this being March 6,2007) I'll be adding photographs as things develop. However, one of the siblings (there are 2) is already flexing its wings so they may be about to fledge.
