Live from San Diego, here is a hummingbird nestcam. There are two eggs and they are apparently due to hatch any day. Remember this is on GMT -7 time. Thank you Geoffrey for making this possible!! Regards,bob

THanks for the heads up - nice birthday present for me- have really enjoyed both sites. YOur photos are spectacular and the nest cam site is so special - don't get to observe h.bird nest so closely!

Hi,
I just watched both the small file and large file,both are working ok. The first part of the video is an short intro which appears to be an old newspaper;then, after a few more seconds the nest is shown. Sorry I can't be of more help. Regards,bob

Thanks for trying - I logged on again and clicked on "anna feeding" which said something about "codecs" missing - therefore no file!? Have you looked at the h.bird migration map - they're coming!!

Hey - thanks again BUT I tried that site and checked out my player - still no go . I just got a slideshow from my daughter of terrific photos - one of which is a h.bird. If you'd like I can forward it to you.

HI,
Yes, please send them.
You might want to try downloading Windows Media Player 9.0. Just remember it will set itself as default media player.

Hi,
My mailbox isn't that big, so it must have bumped it. Please send me a couple of your favorite pictures...but no more than 1mb :)
Glad to hear you got it working. What did you finally do to be able to view it?
Cheers.bob

I downloaded wmp 9.0 and viola! I'm not too experienced with computers - don't think I can extract photos from the slideshow - the one of the h.bird was one in flight with wings forward angel fashion - many of your photos are as good or better!
Is your little girl still there? Maybe she'll stay on.....

Hi,
Glad to hear about what worked for you.
Yes, she is still here; it would be great if she did stay,but I expect she will be heading out before long....
Pictures from yesterday.
