Hummingbird Cam

Friday, June 8, 2012

Several people have commented asking if the nest size is really big. It may look big in the camera, but I think that is a result of the fish-eye lens and the relative closeness of the camera to the nest. The nest is actually dinky!

You can see the whole nest is about 11/2 inches around and only about an inch in diameter inside. The eggs are about 3/8" long and two of them would fit easily in a dime!

PS. These pics were all taken while momma was out getting fueled up at our feeder. She doesn't seem to mind as long as we are gone when she gets back!
