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.

They are pretty and not overdone which might have seemed intrusive. Very nice thanks SPO and HNF.

Gorgeous. Pam, the change to Jewel’s nest and bye bye to Olive happened when I wasn’t on as frequently. Will they show Olive again sometime? Also wondering is Jewel’s nest in the same area or is Jewel’s nest from a different locale and host?

This is the same yard that Olive lives in. Cam-owner will keep an eye out for the best location for any nest activity during the season. So we could get Olive again or whichever female claims a nest where a cam is. It has to timed just right, they don’t want to bother the nest once she’s started incubating

I’ve thought so too. I don’t recall how I came to discover SPO but so happy I did. I think it is the best live cam site! There are so many cam choices and the views spectacular.

I’ve been cold ever since I got home. Cute cartoon. That ghost looks naked. I was in bed last night, not asleep and something hit my bedroom window! I got up and didn’t see anything. Maybe it was a nocturnal bird? Or maybe a daytime bird that got spooked or something……..or maybe a ghost!

What’s the temp there? That night time hit against your window is strange! Night bird makes sense. Either that or some night critters playing baseball😁

What panties?😁 I mean, after all I’m home…lol. Just me in my flannels. I heard on the news today that Ky is one of several states that will be lowering state income tax. Have you heard that?

🤣. Yes I know about lowering state income tax and I don’t like it at all. It is bad for me but it won’t matter really to me. It will affect low income people the most, that is what I don’t like. Most of those people are not well educated and are probably happy with it. Whoopie they think. That is because they really don’t understand the dynamics.

I don’t think it’s fair to say most low-income people are not well educated, I know a lot of high-income people who are not well educated
