ASDM in the spring

I recently went back out to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) and spent pretty much the whole day taking pictures including this one of a female hummingbird on her nest.

For those that don't know, ASDM is one of the few places that regularly breeds humming birds and it can be a great place to see these little jewels up close. Yes, even while the birds are raising their young, you can still go in the aviary and get within a few feet of any of the hummingbirds. Just not too close, of course, you don't want to scare the mother off the nest. And no flash photography on the nesting birds, which, as you can see, doesn't mean you can't get good photos.
