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 am doing okay, thank you, just getting over the flu. 😩 But I’m almost totally mended. I sure did enjoy getting all those home cooked meals pictures. 🤗 I bet it was like being a kid again (almost). 😂

A news network is covering the very important story of the MAHA Food Pyramid.
It got really dark here all of a sudden about 30 minutes ago. Then BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, dogs barking everywhere, and then hard rain for about 5 minutes. 37° here now, and kind of dark. At least we got some precipitation. Hopefully it will snow tomorrow. I’ve been doing monthly business stuff and eating bon-bons. No, not really, just thinking about snacking. 😜

I know! 😂 I’m actually quite surprised by the new chart. I agree with a lot of it. Fiber isn’t everything. I got quite sick from it years ago.

I found it — it was very funny. I didn’t know Chris Hayes was going to be on. He’s so nice looking when he relaxes and takes his glasses off.

What a beautiful painting on the side of the building! Regarding the house, it looks like what we have on the streets of an adjacent town called Manitou Springs, where the hippies have always lived. Very “quaint,” yet lovely. 🤣

This is on the West side of Tucson, where it is mainly Hispanics and they have bright colored houses. I love them.

Karen Marie
January 8, 2026 5:30 pm

Yes, they are very expressive. The couple living next door to me are Hispanic, and their house is kind of a pinkish orange color, not terribly bright, and the color and adornments show their artistic tastes. It is very pretty.
