Allen's Hummingbird Nest - Spring 2024 2nd Clutch
An Allen's Hummingbird nest from Oceanside California Spring 2024
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 Olive, our beautiful year-round resident female Allen’s hummingbird, and her second clutch of 2024. Her nest was originally built in in 2012, and Olive has been using it since 2022 – seven times in total! Olive feeds from her own feeder near the nest and also frequents the two other feeders on camera. An extremely experienced mother, Olive caringly raises her chicks and teaches them all the survival skills they need to become successful adults.
