An Allen's Hummingbird nest from Oceanside California Lily's Second Clutch Spring 2026

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 features Lily, our beautiful year-round resident female Allen’s Hummingbird, and her second clutch of the 2026 season.

Watch as Lily caringly raises her chicks from egg to fledge.
