Davani, Diane

Diane Davani is a Southern California native who became intrigued (and consumed) with hummingbirds when Emma the Hummingbird began to build a nest in a wrought iron chandelier hanging from Diane's patio cover in her backyard. She had a hunch that others would enjoy seeing what she saw happening in Emma's nest, too. She was right. Just 14 months after starting the live streaming of Emma's nest on the Internet, there were over 1.2 million views from 78 different countries. Emma became recognized worldwide in newspapers, television and most recently by Cornell University's NestCam program. Diane
