Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA

Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.

There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.

Were you close to both of them? Which is which? The smaller dark hair or the larger one.

Karen has the dark hair. Karen was my manager at the last shop I worked at in Austin before I moved to Arizona. Rhonda was also working there. Kim was working there and that’s where I met. Kim and she asked me to move to Arizona with her and I did. I haven’t seen Rhonda since I left in 1979 and I didn’t know her that well. Karen has always met me at the bar when I’ve been back for a drink so I have kept in touch with Karen.

So all three were met at work! You were so close to your parents I’m surprised you moved, but seems it worked out the best for you. I’m so glad your friends can to see you. How long since you have seen Kim?

All four of us met at Michaels. Kim lives in Tucson so I see her from time to time. Although it has been a little while but we keep in touch

I moved out here with Kim because her parents lived here and she said she was never spending another winter in Minnesota and asked me to move with her. It was a hard decision to leave home but I knew that I had to get out of my hometown or I would still be sitting on the same bar stool that I sat on 50 years ago

Plus I fell in love with The desert in Arizona when I was probably in 8th grade when we came out to visit my grandparents who wintered here and I said I want to live here someday don’t. I was glad that I met Kim and glad that I moved here and then my parents ended up moving out here 4 years later, although that didn’t go so well
