Chickadee Nest Cam

You are watching a live cam of wild Chestnut-backed Chickadees nesting. This nest cam is located in San Fransisco, California. Chestnut-backed chickadees can be found all along the west coast of North America. Nest building starts with intense activity making many trips to prepare the nest for eggs. After the first two days, their work slows down, and they spend time away from the nest more. Once the nest is finished, the female roosts on it at night, preparing to laying eggs. She stays at the nest from dusk until dawn, only adding soft materials during the day.
