Re: Nesting HummingbirdThank you for the kind words.
Well not officially but Mother Nature seems to think otherwise.
I was about 3 inches away with a macro lens attached. The bird was quite agitated (rightly so) when I set the camera up. She stayed in a tree and was making a non stop clicking sound so I tried to be quick setting the camera up. I then went in the garage and waited for almost 20 minutes for her to return to her nest. I turned off the camera beep and light so it would not add to her irritation then just sat back and waited. The remote app worked really well staying out of sight. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.

Re: Nesting HummingbirdWow Sidd this is wonderful macro video work! Super up close & personal. I can see why she was agitated with you getting so close to her nest. Looks like you can't take the Christmas lights down for awhile.

Re: Nesting HummingbirdWhat a weird place to build a nest! How many eggs did she lay, just one or two? I can't really imaging how tiny they must be. We have so many Hummingbirds, but I was never able to find a nest. What a great opportunity.
You are lucky she did not attack you, they can be quite vicious. Great work Sidd! A) i7-3930K 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo), 32GB DDR3-1600, SSD 256GB, 2x1TB+2x2TB Seagate Barracuda (72krpm), Geforce GTX 550 Ti (1GB), Win10 Pro 64-bit

Re: Nesting Hummingbird
Welcome to California where it is not beyond normal to leave Christmas lights up all year... Some folks even turn them on in the evening too.....
Based on the research I did they typically lay two eggs. I was not able to get the camera positioned to look inside the nest. I was trying really hard to be close but not touch. The eve of the garage was just tall enough to get the camera set up and in position. I think next time I might just get a ladder to see if I can peer down into the nest to check for eggs. Not sure if you can see if from the video but the nest is built where the two plugs from the lights meet. That gives you an idea of the size. Very very small. I pretty much thought I was done capturing Hummingbird video until I saw this nest and realized there was one more video to try and capture. That is unless I see the baby Hummingbird and I try to capture that as well. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." ..... Ferris Bueller

Re: Nesting HummingbirdHummm. I just went to the website and checked and it played. You might try again. Sorry about that.

Re: Nesting HummingbirdWow! Wow, wow, wow, awesome, wow!
A hummingbird nest right under the eaves of your house!!! How lucky can you get, Sidd??? That macro lens you have for your GoPro must be the best one ever made. The clarity is marvelous. Can't wait to see the babies leave... I understand they don't leave the nest until they are fully grown. When you consider how tiny they are, that may not take too long.

Re: Nesting HummingbirdOh, it just played for me, Chuck. Definitely worth going to the trouble to see.
