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.

Hooray! Sandy maneuvered to a rock and was fed by a parent, soon after Luna was fed by a parent on his fledge tree. (approx 1630 hours.) The rock looks like it’s right next to a branch on Sandy’s tree, somehow. So happy they’re both able to eat. Now if I can just see them both fly again, I will be happy. ❤️

News from Big Bear. Luna (the male eaglet), stayed awake and vocal in the nest all night, last night. The two eaglets were close. During mid-morning, he fledged to go look for his sister, Sandy. He landed at the top of a nearby tree where one of his parents was perched, a couple of branches down. A Cam Ops person located Sandy this afternoon, they say in the nest tree, i believe, a few branches below the nest. I still think I saw her fly away from the nest tree when she fledged, but I’m a novice. Either way, she… Read more »

I really think she is in another tree, that is what I read. But the main thing is they say she is OK.

I saw her, and she is stuck. I saw half of her body on one side of a bunch of branches, and then her little head on the other side, and she’s not moving other than just to turn her head. Hoping parents can get food to her.

Do you think she is just scared?

I’m guessing she was. Or maybe just had to learn to move her feet out of it. She didn’t move at all for so long, except turning her head.

Poor thing. She is probably afraid if she moves she will fall.

Nope. We just wanted to have windows open and as long as we got the fan going we are ok. The fans are high velocity and they make you feel cooler than you would think. I really don’t know why it is this warm in the house. It could be we are not getting any breeze coming from the outside inside.

😄. Thanks Karen. Coincidence. They were talking a little while ago about cruising on Route 66.

My family went back and forth from here to Alabama on it every year from 62 to 71. It was so beautiful. The interstates don’t do anything for the scenery. Sometimes I get on the internet and request a drive on Route 66, and I get several selections to choose from. Not as good as before, but still worth “driving” in spots. 😆

I never thought you could do that but makes sense. Do you just google that or have an app?
