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.

Good morning! Yep, I mean good “morning!” 😂

I slept all day! I woke up at 7am and said, NOPE! So Dutchess went to spend a little time with her Dad, who was already up, and I went back to sleep. I awoke at noon and checked on things here, via cell phone, and lay back down, til now.

Been reading posts, and watching the news. News = 😰 Probably won’t be up past 10pm. Hope all is well with all y’all! 🥰😘

You are right, Debbie. 🤗 I was so tired. I didn’t want to leave her, but figured she’d be okay for a little while. And yep, she is right at my heels or in my lap again. 😘

well, he didn’t completely graduate from college (was going to be his gift), needed one or two more classes..and now I’d be afraid it would get lost since he’s always here and there, and not sure he would appreciate it as much as I would.

They said he was considering it. I thought, don’t you have to let them know ahead of time?

He won’t be playing, I fear his career is over, DWI Florida Jail time and its his second offense, so it will carry over. Plus fines loss of license-plus he was being a jerk to another driver and caused the accident trying to pass that driver

julie
March 27, 2026 6:36 pm

They said he had planned on it had recovered from the last accidents injuries-he’s had multiple surgers to recover from also
