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.

Army beat Conn in the Wasabi-Fenway Bowl game today; Coach was running away from the players carrying the Gatorade bucket. Coach was all over the field; but he did too good a job training his men and a Defenseman stopped him. The 3-man Offense with the bucket yelled, “We got him” as they poured the Gatorade over Coach. It was a very funny clip. 😂

DB/Rick’s using his new bathroom heater today; he sure makes things harder than they have to be — Lordy. He’s going to be so warm; their bathroom is about half the size of mine and i’m roasting by the time i step out of the shower and turn it off. PMd my cousin, the pampered chef hostess, about the broken pizza stone 🍕😔 She texted the rep; i don’t expect an answer right away, it is, after all, only 2 days after Christmas, people have stuff to do. i’m sure they’ll make it right. Hope they package it properly for shipping this… Read more »

Remember she’ll keep adding to and stomping on it for the next couple weeks. 😘

Hi Pam it is a beautiful sight! Little nest, little egg, colorful leaves.

I was looking around trying to find out about the nest, when egg was laid, etc. I found that Olive did have an “extensive molt” this summer so it is possible identifying feathers are gone. But they think it is also possible this hummer is an offspring of Olive. I haven’t found for sure when the egg was laid but saw one post where it implied early this morning.
