Aryana Hummingbird  foraging for nectar

This is a curated collection of Aryana Hummingbird's livestream video clips, created in partnership with Explore. During mating season (typically early December to mid-June), viewers have front row seats to the entire nesting process--from egg to fledge, and everything in between.

Watch as Aryana (an Allen's hummingbird) uses her needle-shaped beak to stitch organic materials into a walnut-size nest. Celebrate with us as she lays two tiny eggs and incubates her brood. Don't blink, or you'll miss the miraculous moments her raisin-sized babies emerge from their shells, sprout iridescent feathers, feed and flourish in that cottony nest, "wingercize" and become “jewels of the sky.”

In the off-season, our livestream cam is focused on the nectar feeder in Aryana's habitat. In addition to Aryana's comings and goings, you'll see lots of songbirds, bees, butterflies, and other hummingbird species flitting about, including Anna's, Black-chinned, and Rufous!
