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 found this guy on the sidewalk, moved him to a safe place, that had some leaf clutter he could get shelter in. It was out because of the false spring, here’s a bit about them they are amazing that

Interesting. It seems like producing anti freezing then freezing is contraindicated.

Just doesn’t freeze solid-they shouldn’t be out till April-and some fruit trees started budding out, this cold we are having now will kill the buds and no fruit then

Good morning Bella Buds, overcast and 42. Tomorrow a high of 27 last time I heard. It is the coldest day and I have to go to Somerset. Y’all have the best day possible and try to behave.

If you do like you say, find a place you can park close, any discomfort will be quick. Do you have a remote starter for your car or maybe it is in a garage.

Good Morning Bellas its a very cold 18 windy and have had a dusting of snow, I got a cat grass kit for Jade, going to grow her some fresh greens💚 she loves to eat grass out side, when I have her out and on a walk. Wonder if we will have a hatch today? Jewel is sitting on the eggs and talking to the chicks, I’m wondering if she can hear them? Have a happy hatch watch😘

Good morning Sunshine. It will be fun for you to grow the grass, and good for Jade to eat it. Hope we see some hatching progress soon.

Good night all. 🌻 Yesterday wore me out more than I thought and even though I slept good off and on today, I find I need even more sleep. So, in order to wake up feeling fresh and alert, I’m going to bed. I hope you all have a wonderful sleep and have a beautiful morning. 😍😘 🌸💖
