    If you have never watched a nest cam, you probably can't even imagine how much time you can waste waiting for an egg to hatch, a fuzzy chick to poke its head out from under its mother or an eaglet to learn to fly. So I'll just tell you -- it's a lot of time. Just ask our resident [Wired eagle watchers](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/02/eagle-cam-returns/). And thus I am really sorry to do this to you, but I've collected some of the best live streaming nest cams on the web. They all have eggs or chicks in the nest, or are about to have eggs. Turns out there are a lot of nest cams out there, from owls to falcons to emus. Here are some of my favorites. __Above:__ Hummingbird Cam --------------- __Nest Status:__ Two eggs in the nest __Location:__ Laguna Beach, California __Cam Operator:__ OCHummingbirds __More Info:__ <www.ourhummingbirdnest.com>
