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.

😍 I like to help people it makes me feel good and I like Clair, so helping her out is a good thing she’s brought me cookies she made. I have given her tomatoes. She bought the house nextdoor. She moved here from Maine-I have met her parents really nice people. It’s fun meeting new people😘That was nice of Rick to do that. I bring a bag with me when I walk and pick up trash-litter. I can’t stand looking at it😡

And I don’t even care how ridiculous that sounds. Jackie died today. For anyone who doesn’t know who Jackie was, she was the beautiful bald eagle from Big Bear Valley whose life with her mate, Shadow, and their babies has been watched by people all over the world through a live nest camera. And somehow, over the last few years, I became one of those people.… Read more »

That was nicely discribed, what Jackie gave people was the feeling of compassion to another living being she was an ambassador for us to bring people together😘 to maybe be a little more kinder to each other sharing the same experience and express the same love-she taught us well and to remember what makes us human💖

I think so too. There seems to be a 4.5 year old involved already. I think she is banded.
