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 Karen. What a sweet tradition. I don’t know anyone in my region who has any kind of May Day tradition. I had heard about May Dad, but really didn’t know what it was. I surmised it was just a celebration of Spring, even tho spring officially starts in March.

Good morning Bella Buds and Happy May Day to you. May May Day bring you an energy boost. April is behind you; some of you had unpleasantness in April. Pretty outside today, 59. I’ve got a local Lexington tv station on tv, there will be a lot of tv coverage today of Churchill Downs Derby. The actual Derby is tomorrow but today is Oaks Day. The premier race is called the Oaks, and it is the race of only fillies, the best I’m sure in the country, a lot of other countries. On this day they also focus on women… Read more »

Good morning I had a nice walk yesterday morning. The saguaro flowers are getting ready to bloom. I am waiting to take a picture of them. I talked to my cousin in MN. yesterday and Ray in CA the day before. Gas is $6 a gallon in CA. It was nice catching up with them. I did my account for the IRS correctly because I got an email this morning saying our tax return will be in by May 5th…YAY!!! Rick stopped by the bank yesterday and he has an appointment today and they will transfer OUR money left in… Read more »

Good morning Ardy. I bet the flowers will be pretty. You should drive out to where most are located and see the view.
I’m glad you got the IRS taken care of. I hate dealing with any big government agency.

Far for me. The ones growing in town are in peoples yards mostly and the resorts. Otherwise they grow on the mountain sides along roads and the freeway and out in the desert.
