Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA

Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.

There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.

I never could find the eclipse. I don’t know if I didn’t look in the right place, or if trees or clouds were in the way. But I was very tired and needed to go to bed. Nice to walk with a neighbor/friend. I know you are always happy to go places with hubby. It will be really nice next week to go to a scenic place such as park or lake.

I always go out in the middle of the night to look at the moon. I get better pictures that way.

I could see it perfectly from my window, it was pretty cool, I usually don’t get to see nighttime events bc it’s usually too cloudy here
