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.

It’s very cold out today; didn’t even make it to 60; which really wouldn’t’ve been so bad if i’d closed the door/windows! Brrr And it’s been raining since about midnight. 💦
Saw Kaydee and Shadow nibbling on each other; a good good sign for eaglets in 2027 💘 Got my hair refreshed and watched RJ Decker.

🤣😂. Maybe cats are just smarter! Good grief Pam, shut the windows! I’d be an ice chunk. Yep, it does look like Kaydee and Shadow are going to be an item! Shadow has already tried to get his way with her, but it didn’t work that time. I guess she wanted to prove she is not “easy”. 😄.

Hi Pam, cool and damp here, Kaydee has brought some sticks too and I think some fluff to, Shadow tried to mate and she was like what are you doing? and knock it off-she flew off 😂

Hormones haven’t totally kicked in that’s what drives them to have eggs. She’s a young eagles to, this might be her first nest?

They are pretty sure of that since she is banded and they know when she hatched. They said not long ago she was 4.5 years old.

All done and done. Got both flu and Covid. The nurse said the flu was just regular, not high dose. She said that is all they were sent so wonder if they have the high dose elsewhere. I just went on and got it.

There is a high dose this year so I don’t know what happened. If it becomes a bad year for flu I’ll see if I can get the high dose later, I’ll have enough vaccine I’m sure for now.

They wouldn’t give you the high dose because you already have the vaccine in you. You wouldn’t want to get sick from having to much, the also wouldn’t give you the shot for more

I didn’t get the high dose because they didn’t have it for the flu here. It just gives you more of a boost because it lasts longer

Sorry but no. If I wanted just vaccines I’d make an appointment at Walgreens. But then, maybe not since I wanted to know from her.
