I found a new Cardinal nest that has two eggs in it. I actually found it about a week ago, but I was having trouble positioning the BirdCam. I included a picture of the BirdCam setup.
I attached the BirdCam to an old piece of Bamboo, then secured it to the other Bamboo branches above the nest.
This is not the same nest that also had 2 Cardinal eggs. It’s on a completely different side of the yard. Fortunately, it’s also in a location that is a little further away from the pool (in the other Cardinal nest, one of the fledglings flew into the pool and drowned).

BirdCam Setup On Second Cardinal Nest
I also have 2 videos to share. This first video was shot right after I positioned the BirdCam.
You can see the 2 eggs, then Mama Cardinal flies in and sits on the nest. She looks a little curious about the BirdCam positioned above her, but doesn’t appear to be stressed.
In this second video, Mama Cardinal has repositioned herself and is just incubating her eggs.
