Hummingbird

Since many folks are still missing their martins, I thought I would share this to help.
This is a live stream of a Hummingbird nest.
If you watch, mom gets up once in awhile to feed and the eggs are visble.

Enjoy!

Excellant website. Live video and in a rose bush no less, looks like a safe place to me.

If you work with the website you can blow it up to full screen. Great picture quality.

I have an old hummingbird nest that looks just like the one in the picture.

Do you know where this is coming from?

Since you mentioned Hummingbirds, I thought I would mention, for several years, I have got a Hummingbird back on March the 2nd. This year, I did not, and still have not seen one. I guess they are running late this year.

I'm curious too...where is this video coming from & what kind of hummer are we seeing? We get both Ruby throats & Black chins here...I'm thinking this is in California & it's an Anna's???

Glad you all are enjoying it.
Read about her here. Her name is Phoebe, and this is the 4th or 5th time she's had babies. She's in Orange County, CA.

Stingray , We just got our first Purple Martins today. They did a couple of fly bys then landed and enjoyed the house.

Wanted to give a special thanks to Stingray and Julio for helping us get started as new landlords! Thanks from Rick in Coral Springs

My martins are a week late and I"m a little worried. Thanks so much for this post- I love hummers too. Although, now I may not get a thing done today! : )

Got my first Hummer on April 7 last year, but did not get any real numbers until about the 15th.

Bet they'll be late this year.

I only see one egg now- did one of them hatch? Can't see a baby either.
