🌺 LIVE: Allen's Hummingbird Nest Cam

This session introduces you to Olive, a beautiful Allen female and her 3nd clutch of 2023. She has re-used this nest 6 times. Olive uses a window feeder close by and other hummingbirds frequent 2 other feeders on the property. She is an extremely experienced mother and will teach her chicks all they need to know, including survival skills.

had more than one batch of babies in a season. We love watching ours but there are no nests in sight. The wooded areas are a little ways from the backyard.

Ruby-throated have at least two sets of nestlings, and have just started their first nesting.
