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.

Hello………..took it easier than normal today because of my knee. It does feel better.
I got my letter for my mammogram and I have to have another one…said it showed a finding that requires additional imaging studies.
I hope my insurance pays for it. I am not worried, I just dont want to go again.

I’m glad your knee is better. It will probably normalize fairly quickly now. I know it is not easy for you to take it easy! 😊. Oh I know how it is to go back. I have had screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds of the breast, and breast MRI.

What is causing your knee problems, Ardyth? Having to have a regular mammogram is bad enough!! If men had to do them regularly, they would have come up with a better method by now.

A comment again related to the “former” Lake Ontario. I don’t think he will change the name of Lake Superior, but maybe just add on to the name. 🍊

Get it done, it is supposed to get hotter.
My long time friend, since 1978, is visiting someone in Madison right now.

So cool!!! I saw the eclipse when it first started happening, but it kind of got clouded over before we got to see the reddish part.

It will always be Lake Ontario to the world and most of the country. It will always be the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. In two years Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico will probably return. But the East Wing and Rose Garden are gone forever.

Hello…last night I watched the eclipse off and on…I told my mom about it so maybe she did, too. I could see it from my kitchen and dining room windows once it got up higher than the trees. I walked this morning with my neighbor/friend, not a very long walk. DH might leave work a couple hours early so we can do something..part of that would be running errands but that’s ok…maybe also a little walk with the dogs, eat somewhere..we’ll play it by ear…he said he can take an afternoon next week…we can go to a park or the… Read more »

I never could find the eclipse. I don’t know if I didn’t look in the right place, or if trees or clouds were in the way. But I was very tired and needed to go to bed. Nice to walk with a neighbor/friend. I know you are always happy to go places with hubby. It will be really nice next week to go to a scenic place such as park or lake.

Hi Debbie..it started around 9:30, the peak was at 11:12, we had to google it…it was to our southeast but that’s of course where the moon always is at that time…I texted DH when it was at the peak and he went outside at his dad’s.

I always go out in the middle of the night to look at the moon. I get better pictures that way.

I could see it perfectly from my window, it was pretty cool, I usually don’t get to see nighttime events bc it’s usually too cloudy here
