This is all the rage right now, and it will only be relevant for 1 or 2 more days. A 24/7 webcam of some hatching hummingbird eggs. The entire nest is slightly bigger than a golf ball and the eggs are about the size of Tic Tacs. Yesterday around 11am EST, some cracks were spotted on the eggs. Since then, more and more people have tuned in to watch. Last night when the sun went down, no progress had been made. There should be light on the west coast at 10am EST. I've been watching a blank screen since 6am this morning.

Eric and I have been paying attention to this all day. He has been making jokes about a snake coming to get the eggs. And what do you know, a big lizard suddenly popped on the screen and Phoebe (the bird) went crazy and dive-bombed him till he ran away. Then she came back and took one of the eggs away -- people seem to think it's "dead" and she's removing it.
