9/3/10 I think it’s safe to say that fledging is very near. At this point there’s no chance for either chick to “fall” out of the nest. If one loses a toe hold in this now very tight nest, it will easily fly away. Am also hoping that when they fledge and before you “fledge” from watching you’ll think about supporting the cam and everything associated with it at Starr Ranch. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks. Pete
7/26/10 Cam back to 1st nest. On 7/25 I happened to check and there was one egg. Still is. And when I just moved cam back to this nest and went to look on the monitor if it was aligned, she came in. So who knows? This could be round 3. Pete
6/15/10 (Refers to 2nd nest:)The current nest is new. I think built a little over 2 weeks ago approximately 4′ south of the 1st nest. Could be same female, could be diff. I think she’s been incubating about 2 weeks. There were definitely two eggs about 10 days ago. Pete
5/8/10 There are definitely two tiny chicks hatched – nest was mirrored this afternoon. I will mirror it at 8AM PST tomorrow, Sunday. So if you want a glimpse of these little guys, tune in then. Pete
4/22/10 Second egg seen around 10AM. Though don’t know exactly when it was laid.
4/21/10 There’s one egg as of this morning. I forgot to check this afternoon, but given how tight she seems to be sitting as of this evening she could have laid second egg and incubation has begun. Will check tomorrow AM when she takes off for a stretch/feeding.
4/17/10 As some have seen, she’s back and fixing up nest. As of 4/16, no eggs. I will keep checking and let you know when she lays. Reminder: this cam times out in 15 minutes – you need to reload the page to get the video feed restarted. I’ve seen some posts about problems some have had with the video, All I can say is I check it the same way all of you get it and have found no problems. So it might be your browser or internet connection.
Thanks for tuning in and please consider supporting the cam - it cost real dollars to keep it available to all of you. Thanks, Pete DeSimone

This has been a great nest to watch when it is active. Such a close up view. While it is inactive, please note the following:
For those who may have been saddened by the eagle’s nest on Hornby Island going dark, no longer viewable, there is great news! Doug & Sheila Carrick and The Hornby Eagle Group have brought this nest back online. Please visit our website at http://www.hornbyeagles.com where you can view our cam and access our forum. Both eagles are still coming to the nest on a daily basis, doing nestorations to the nest of this very special pair.
Take a look at my hummer nest.
Chicks are getting big.

Mr. Pete,
I wonder why this camera is still on that empty nest…
Is there a chance that another hummingbird use this old nest to lay its eggs?
Bye and thank you.
Patti your a gem :-)) thx for the alert!
Hi Everyone! Not sure who is checking in these days since nothing is happening at this nest, but there has been some activity on the Starr Ranch Barn Owl site. In fact, there is an owl in house this morning. Go to the top left of this page and click on “barn owl” and it’ll take you to that cam. Have fun!
Thank you Pam for pointing out Pete’s comment about the nest:)
Please keep me on your list for next seasons. many thanks to you
Pete Simone. I enjoyed your site very much.

Janet – took me a couple days, but I finally realized Pete was so thoughtful and posted a message up in the right corner – same window as the empty nest
Dear Star Ranch,
Any update on eggs in the empty nest – thank you
simply stated – sensational video(s) and still shot! Glad I came to check-in – just hopeful we’ll hear from a pal Pete.
Has anyone had an update from Pete about the recent Star Ranch eggs
Thanks Joseph. And the closeup is fantastic!
The egg was finally ejected by mom.
She typically has 5 clutches of eggs per year.
I’m expecting her back at the end of October.
Here’s a nice closeup of a 17 day old:

Pungh0LIo0 – Wow that’s some slide show. Thank you so much for sharing. Out of curiosity, what happen to the second egg? I saw the one hummingbird growing, the other egg not hatching, and then the young hummingbird sitting on the edge of the nest, but there was no second egg that I could see????? Thanks!
