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.

Ooh, that is COLD! I remember living in Albuquerque years ago, there would be wintry weather. Don’t think it got that cold though.

Good Morning!!
Brrrrr It is cold this morning. It is 33°
Yesterday was another day of not doing much. I did apply my fingernails and Kurt came over for a haircut.
Rick has been under the weather now for a few days, he doesnt have a fever but runny nose, scratchy throat, etc. It is probably a cold.
We just had left over soupr for supper but he did make biscuits.
KNock on wood, my ad problems are gone but i still have to refresh for new comments….does anyone else have to?

I have to refresh a lot. It happens sometimes because someone posts to an older message, the older the more times needed to get new comments to the top. It makes sense because that new post is attached to the old post, and that whole thread comes to the top.

January 10, 2026 10:00 am

No refresh issue like that. Hope Rick gets to feeling better! Hoping just a cold.

January 10, 2026 7:54 am

Good morning Bellas☀️ It is a wee past 7 am. A light snow is falling gently in the morning light. It is lovely. I’m pleased temps will stay above freezing today though barely. I slept very well and ready for a brand new day. Another drop to the Goodwill. Spring cleaning in January🙂. Wishing everyone a wonderful day. Thankful for all the kind words yesterday💛

Good morning Lin, I’m not used to seeing you in the AM, unless you pulled an overnighted. I’m glad you got a good night sleep, and welcome to a new days. Hugs for you and that heart of yours. One of the kindest hearts I’ve ever know. ♥️♥️♥️

Mornin’ you💛🥰😘 Yes, I feel much better thank you. I went to bed early and slept really well. Enjoying a relaxing morning. Just peeked out and it looks like the wee bit of snow we got has stopped. Now just a slushy mess. What are you up to today? And Jo?
Is Casey wide awake and squawking? 🙂

And there is Lin! I don’t have any definitive plans, I always have this and that in my brain. Casey isn’t up yet, but very soon. He doesn’t wake up til I uncover him. How about you? Doesn’t sound like a very good day to get out.

Hi. Sorry, I didn’t realize my iPad needed charging. I remember that about captive birds. The gal Sue I told you about that had a roomful of birds – I asked her once how she and her husband got any sleep early morning. I get those “this and that” days. I seem to be morphing into one here. I was going to head over to the Goodwill after packing up more stuff but the earlier snow kept me in my nightie..ha ha. I read a couple local papers and got lazier by the minute! Now I’m having some lunch since… Read more »

I can type on my iPad and still charge. Changes in weather can affect our bodies and energy level. I am having a sluggish day. The temp is 55 and this time tomorrow will drop to low 30’s. Don’t fight it, you are retired and earned the right to take each day as it comes. I don’t mean to say ne neglectful, but things like Goodwill can wait. I responded to an unanswered email a little while ago.

I can charge it if I am sitting in recliner or couch. I have a lamp I got from Amazon that has a wood base with USB port and electric outlets but my charge cord is so short that it makes it hard. A longer cord is on my things to get list. 55 sounds wonderful. Is the sun out?

Dreary outside. I have charge cords going from 3 feet to one I’ve never used, probably 12 foot!

Good Morning Bellas, looking out the window snow is falling it started out as big flakes but now its just lite snow-hope breakfast is still doable and roads are good. The Packers play da Bears tonight its on Amazon prime which I don’t have😪 I will have to go somewhere to watch it or just listen to it on the radio. Watched the women’s ice skating last night. How they can fly through the air is amazing. My favorite is Alysa Liu. I have been following her story she retired from skating at 16 and has made a come back… Read more »
