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 looked up Maple Tree, at the time I didn’t know MacFarland. Is that a town or an area of Madison?

Oh I know I read your @night bot, Pam just reminded me yesterday about the egg banding that’s why I mentioned it😃because the egg doesn’t pip, the chick inside doesn’t have a egg tooth to make a pip

Good morning Bella Buds, everything is good in the neighborhood. Woke up to pea soup outside but it is about lifted now. Men are working across the street in the little house. Don’t know what they are doing or if the bank still owns the property. But I suspect it won’t be long until we have new neighbors. Y’all have a good day and behave yourselves.

Good morning Julie and happy day to you. I’m glad you are going out with Judy and her friend. I think you have been to that restaurant several times. I looked up the menu and it seems to be a very nice place with a lot of quality for the price. Let me guess what you will order. The two piece fish cod with baked potato and salad bar meal. I can’t guess what adult beverage you will have but I’m sure there will be one! 😁. I think I would want to get there about 3:45. They will fill… Read more »

Good morning Debbie, know her friend isn’t oining us-she doesn’t drive in the dark and it would be dark by the time we are done eating. no news from upnorth. I’m going to wear a wrist brace today that covers my hand too it keeps the hand straight keeps it from curling, my hand tends to curl and that’s when the finger sticks-so see how that works

If you got there at 4 you should have 1.5 hours, but that still pushes it. Does she live too far away for Judy to just pick her up? There are glasses available now to help some people drive after dark. Jo has a pair.

JULIE,
i still want to bring up the solar lights one more time. For safety reasons.
Dont use regular batteries in it. Please READ it UP, regular batteries can be dangerous in a solar light, mess it up, plus they dont make any sense, because the sun is doing the job.
ALL solar lights need rechargeable batteries. Be well and safe.🙂

I guess i missed that conversation……how can she put regular batteries in a solar light? I thought solar light had built in batteries?

February 27, 2026 8:13 am

Some do come with batteries, but you replace them when they burn out or have to put batteries in like needs 2 AA batties

Never use regular batteries in solar lights !
Some batteries surely are built in, some can get exchanged. But never use the normal batteries, they can start a fire, leak, mess up the light or similar. Not made to be recharged .Why would a person put normal batteries in, which provide the energy, when sunlight is providing the energy and is recharging the rechargeable batteries. ?
🤦‍♀️.

OK Gabi, I just do what the light directions say, I put in regular batteries AA, AAA, I have not had a problem also I use the kind that you put in the ground not on a house or deck. I’m safe-Lithium batteries are the bad ones, they can start fires.
