 Spending the Memorial Day holiday at my mom's ranch in East Texas. Saw this nest of Eastern Phoebes right out her front door under her porch - nest built on top of a porch fan blade.

Trying out the new lens - but using the free version of Picasa on my laptop instead of CS5 on my Mac.

Taken in JPEG fine. Imported into Picasa. Sharpened, cropped and other minor tweaks.

It's a bit close for me. Wider angle, to show the other one in back, would be better.

that is quite possibly the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I find the mouth to be intriguing, it's definitely not an angle you see very often.

my biggest irk here is the crop of the rear birds beak. 6
