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 understand that Lin……my wrist hits my laptop and makes my wrist hurt that I broke.

January 15, 2026 5:16 pm

I need to look into whether I can talk into a service rather than type, It’s also hard on my neck. I’m crabby, forgive me. I’m also sick of Winter. I’m whiny! Going to curl up on the couch with a hot chocolate and watch TV. Have a good night Ardy and take care of your wrist🙂

Oh that’s what you mean…lol. I’m not tech smart at all Ardy! I do need to call Apple and talk to a tech about some questions I have so will inquire about hands free communication. And re: that microphone. Thanks Ardy! Have a good night!

To get talk-to-text (Dictation) on your Apple computer, enable it in System Settings > Keyboard > Dictation, then use a shortcut like pressing the Microphone key (often F5) or a double-press of the Function key (Fn) to start speaking, letting your words appear as text in any app. You can also set up text-to-speech (Speak Selection) in System Settings > Accessibility > Read & Speak to have your Mac read selected text aloud.

I’m bad about that. I get a headache. I’m horrible with tech stuff.Ask me to write a poem or create art and I shine. Tech stuff, math, etc, turns my gray matter even grayer🤓 Okay, good night!🙂

I’m waiting on Jo to get Chinese at the same place we went to when Julie was here, then home. I thought this was interesting so I stole it from Becki at Decorah! Sorry Im a thief Becki. 😁.
Temperature determines turtle gender. Generally, cooler temperatures produce males, while warmer temperatures produce females

Yes and they take turtle eggs to help the sea turtle population warm them to produce more females to produce more eggs, survival to adulthood is very low

Lin, I’m so sorry about your hands hurting. I have the same problem with my hands, but I use my phone and the speaker on it. I can hardly chat at all these days if I have to use my hands. 🤗
