For the last 4 days I have been watching this humming bird feed her chick. She is there every 15 minutes as you can see they are ready to eat. I have never seen these birds this close. So very little. The parks department has taped off the area so she will not be disturbed. It a stretch for my lens but one I just couldn't pass up sharing. This was taken with a 500 mm. There will be a few more the come soon.
