Sure. My fundamental point is you don't have to be an expert to take hummingbird pictures and you don't have to disturb the nest either. The first person to take a baby hummingbird picture wasn't an expert at it either, but how do we learn how to do it, without trying? How do you know what your cat's thinking when you take it's picture? It might be thinking. "Geez, what an a**hole. Always taking my picture, showing it to strangers, posting it on the internet without my permission or model release. And I can't write, speak English, or type to defend myself. I wish he's spend his time getting me another can of tuna." :-) >Anyway, there's no need to argue this point any further.
