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.

Goods morning Bellas what a night got lots of rain, still could storm today-kind of worried about that, being outside with a bunch of people and no shelter is not a good place to be see what the weather people have to say and how this progresses? and what the predictions are for today. Have a great day so glad we can post again😍

Good night to all, it is about that time for me. Wishing all a good sleep, and peace in your hearts. Thinking of Pam, hoping she had a good, safe trip and is having a blast. It is definitely her turn! Sleep good dear Pam, I know that is hard for you away from home.
Good night to all our Phriends and Phamily, and the occasional peepers too. Love. 🥰♥️

Hello…we went to the monthly art fest and I saw several people that i know…I usually expect to see one or two but not that many! There are a lot more vendors now and fun things for kids to do…games, crafts, etc..it runs through September I think so hope to make to a couple more…Bane had fun, too. I got a couple pieces of fish at the grocery deli and DH got chicken tenders, that was our dinner. The Cubs are winning, yay! Going to relax now..night 😴

You have a lot of fun and interesting things to do. From talking to you for years, I think the town you live in is very crafty, maybe has more artists than most towns do. Lots of little shops and crafts, good places to eat. Lots of music festivals. Seems like a very nice place to live.
Have a good rest of your evening and sleep peacefully. 🥰♥️

Good morning Lynn. I think that is wonderful. The leadership of your town was visionary and focused. I would love living there. My hometown, Nashville TN, was the home of country music. Lots of big time singers and musicians, recording studios and tourists. The “action” was located on what is called lower Broadway. The Grand Ol’ Opry was down there and nationally famous. They build a theme park called Opryland a ways across town and the Opry moved there in mid 70’s. The theme park thrived for decades, but lower Broadway declined and Nashville declined. Branson Missouri for awhile became… Read more »

That will be fun and interesting. Look at all those braids. I wonder if all the girls have long hair, or maybe some have hair extenders or wigs.
