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.

These were in Yankee Magazine, and the artist uses all bits and pieces of ground findings. Just so cute. I have to see if he has a website and if he has one with a hummingbird. Reuse of nature!

Yes the chipmuck is real. He also has one with a bee, another with a female cardinal and another he has what he calls Becorns in a boat paddling towards a mallard duck. Oh and one with another chipmuck with it’s head on top of the Becorn looking at the basket the Becorn is holding with seeds in it. All just so precious. How he was able to get these is unbelievable. He mentioned one that where another chipmuck ate the head of one. I’m going to find out more when I do a search. He graduated from RISD(RI School… Read more »

He is very talented both in his creation of the physical pieces, but also his photography and imaginatio. I wonder how he made that one strong enough to hold that strawberry.

I do not know why its there now and wasnt before with an ad blocker. I do know that if ads are enabled there is an option to close it. There is an X that you can click on along with the video pop up on the right bottom. I do it all the time.

It is, but it is very soft and dry. The roads are fine. This snow won’t last very long, I bet. But it is so nice to finally get some. All through most of my life we have always gotten a major snowstorm around Halloween. Not lately though. ☃️❄️
