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.

Checking back in,I’m drinking iced coffee, Had a stressing talk with my Mom, she sounds terrible-was up all night coughing, she does think she has Covid, but hasn’t done a test where she lives there’s no where to get a test.My brother is driving to Ashland to a Walgreens to get her one. I will stop back later just don’t feel like chatting. My Dad is about the same

Julie, I’m so sorry your Mom might be ill and you are in the dark and can’t do a thing to help. I hope your brother gets there with that test sooner than later. And I hope your Mom takes the test right away and calls you. 😘 Is it raining yet? I hope so. Feel better.

Hi Julie. 😍 I would think if she was coughing all night and is not better, and can,t get ahold of a covid test, she should go in. Is she better today than yesterday or last night? I

Oh Julie! I’ve been wondering all day. I hope she can find out and be within the time frame to get Paxlovid. So no walk in clinics or anything up there. So do you know if your Dad is coughing like her? Hugs sweetheart, I know you are stressed. Love you.

Every thing is at a much larger city, there is a clinic in town but they will only see members-my brother tried to get a Covid test there and they said they didn’t have any?

Good afternoon…went to church today…we are under a heat advisory today and tomorrow. DH is working at the cemetery but if there is time, we might get ice cream…or maybe just watch Bane play in the sprinkler. The music last night was fun..there was a twist contest and my mom was one of the winners, she won fuzzy dice 😀

Hi Lynn, we are going to be hot Monday and Tuesday, then just a little better Wednesday. The music sounds like so much fun! Your Mom is just remarkable. I bet she was really a riot in her younger days. Like dancing on a table top somewhere! Enjoy the day. Your husband sure has a lot to do.

Too hot for me to be out there running the sprinkler or hose. She won’t do the sprinkler by herself.

Yeah no ship. Just a Viking cruiser in the early morning. So will be in Duluth for the day and we will go to the canal but I can’t tell you when but I’ll wave and maybe I’ll let you know that I’m going to be there and y’all have a time frame

KyDebbie
July 26, 2026 1:28 pm

Thanks Ardy. If you are unable to tell us when you are there, maybe you can just note the time and tell us later. Then it would be easier to find on rewind. I know how to do screen shots but I’m not sure how to take video. Surely there is a way? If not I’ll do several screen shots. Have a ton of fun. You are missed! Hi to JoAnn!

Part of the problem is Jay not understanding my relationship with people in chat and so I don’t really want to deal with it but I will try and post it somewhere saying okay. We’re here if I can or I will make a note of the time

KyDebbie
July 26, 2026 1:41 pm

I understand Ardy. Once upon a time I didn’t understand how people developed online friendships, so I really do understand JoAnn. So don’t you worry. My sister understands for sure.

No one from here we’ll be at Facebook to get the message. I will try to just put a a message in saying that I’m going to the the canal and then I’m going to be waving. I think I can tell her that I’m going to do that

Since there’s no ship coming in at 10:00, we won’t be there at 10:00. I bet it’s a little early for my friend. So we are going to go to Duluth for the day and we will be down at the canal but I don’t know what time and it’s kind of hard for me to probably text you when I’m there. I can explain later

Good morning! I’ve been up for about an hour. Had to play with squeaky toy before I could get up. 🤣 i hope you have a good conversation with your Mom, Julie. 🙏 Pam, I hope Rick is doing even better today and isn’t in any pain. 🙏 Debbie, say hi to Casey for me. ❣️ I hope you have a great day!! I am praying for rain. Sky is gray and overcast again, as it has been off and on for days. But no rain yet! 97 expected today!
