Backer nest cam

There's this silly bird that built a nest right on top of our big round thermometer. Well, kind of behind it. Anyway. She built a nest and I had the bright idea to stick a camera up there so we could see when the eggs hatch.

So the birds hatched today. Or last night. Or something. We saw wiggly things that weren't the momma bird in the nest today. Which inspired me to finally figure out how to get the wireless video feed online.

Note...right now (12:15am on Sunday - mother's day - Happy mother's day deck-bird!) it's dark. As in, no light. Sorry. Will put a light on it tomorrow. You can watch the black and bits of video noise and pretend you see the mother peacefully snoozing.

So here it is. Assuming it doesn't crash or something between now and tomorrow morning, you should see the mama sitting on the nest (and not to coincidentally, her children) and/or a seemingly empty nest, and/or small red and brown sploches with orange beaks.
