Yep, fixed, but only every 65 seconds as the camera is refreshing every 60 secs.

I moved the camera so the hook isn't blocking the view and is closer to the nest. This is the third nest on that hook in six years.

Update:

First egg.

She laid her first egg this morning. She will likely lay a second one tomorrow. The egg is about the size tictac.

That looks like a pretty clean carhole. I wish i had a carhole.

That's pretty cool, hummingbirds are interesting, and beautiful birds. Never knew their eggs were so small, no surprise. Keep us updated!

Do they umm, spin it themselves, or take it from spider webs?

They bring back spider webs and wrap them around the nest. Here is a close up of the outside of the nest to give you an idea of what it is made of:

Nest Close-up

It is mostly seeds and spider webs.

Interesting. We have a pair of these shiney green hummingbirds down by our cabin. I have no idea where the nest is though.
