I have been away in AZ for a few days and headed out to the hummingbird nest again this morning. They have gotten bigger and are filling the nest up themselves.. Mom cannot sit in the nest anymore...

Photography isn't about the Zone System or any other Ansel Adams nonsense.
It's simply about seeing. You either see or you don't see, the rest is
academic.

Just curious, but why F/14 and F/22? That must have really slowed your shutter speed, which seems counter productive.

Edit: actually looking at your DOF, it's hard to believe the aperature was that small?

I was shooting this nest at about 6-10ft. using s 200-400VR lens... With a long tele lens your DOF is pretty darn shallow at 400mm and F/8 I had to keep the nest and the chicks in focus along with mom...I was shooting at ISO 320 to pring up the shutter speed and also using fill flash to bring out shadows details...

Yep my DOF was pretty short considering my focus distance and the F-stop I was using... I tried stopping down to F/22 but it was still not enough with a long tele lens... I might try my 70-200 net time instead...

Well for corn sakes don't get your panties in a wad, After reading the post on birds nesting I thought that might be kindda close.
I'll be the first one to admit that I don't know the comfort zone of a Hummingbird, by your tone I do know that you have No patience.
Thanks for the lesson.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
Thanks harry...
Yes, yes they do grow quite fast... The incubate for about 18 days and fledge in about 18-24 days after hatching...
