This HD camera streams live 24/7 with sound, so make sure you turn up your volume. You can also watch the nest at night thanks to the wonders of infrared technology, approved by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

This season brings you Jewel, our beautiful year-round resident female Allen’s hummingbird, and her first clutch of the 2026 season.
