Taken on my porch where a nest of (what think are) finches. Cute little guys. Don't have a macro lens, so I borrowed a friends 24-70 and it worked fairly well. There are two more in the nest, but no matter how much I whistled, I couldn't get them up.

shallow DoF would be better emphasized if you got a good look at the hatchling's face instead of just the mouth a pile of what i'm assuming is feathers.
hopefully the mother didn't actually abandon the next if she caught a strange scene around the nest
