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.

Mix: 12-oz pkg egg noodles al dente, 2 10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup or chicken, or one of each, 2 small cans tuna, drained, 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed, ½ (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms Mix all Shredded Mozzarella cheese to top near the end of cooking… Read more »
