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.

Took husband to doctor. Doctor is lowering his muscle relaxer dose. He is almost positive that caused the problem. Husband was also real tired at the same time he took one yesterday.
Then we stopped at my doctor’s office for a routine blood panel. Then stopped at WalMart. Had an argument inside the store. 😡 Ended up leaving barehanded. Been home about 20 mins. Cooling off now. Crazy! 😵‍💫 I might fix supper. But also thinking about maybe ordering Albertacos. 😋😋

I’m glad the doctor figured out the problem with your husband and it was an easy fix. Is he on a muscle relaxer permanently. Most people seem to take those me. Sorry about the argument at Walmart. Sometimes I get mad at Jo for being rude to an employee and I walk out.

Yep, we were walking side by side, both with automated carts, and he decided to just stop to check something. Guy behind us wasn’t happy, but didn’t say anything. So i moved for him to pass. Then hubby asked why I moved, and i told him. Then i told him he was kind of inconsiderate by just stopping like that in the doorway area. Then he got mad at me for sticking up for the other guy and not for him, “my husband.” Geeez . . . . The male ego sometimes!! I wanted to pop him. Still do. 🤣… Read more »

I was confused because you said you walked side by side, but you meant rode! It does. Like at Lowe’s when we bought the refrigerator. She made a big deal to them in what I thought wasn’t nice that the delivery people had to speak English.

That was a little clueless on your DH’s part. Maybe he was still having the effects of the muscle relaxer? I have had people walking in front of me on the side walk and they just stop they turn see me but don’t move so I’m the one who has to walk around them. I think people just get caught up in their own stuff and forget to think about others, and some people just never learned to think of others. Men can be the worse sometimes and don’t like to be caught doing or being wrong. Its part of… Read more »

I have to have a follow up/ sonogram on my left boob. But, I need a referral and of course I have to go have a visit with my new NP to get the referral. UGH….So I have an appointment with her Sept. 17 I think we are getting what was supposed to be yesterdays. There was 60% chance yesterday, supposed to rain most of the day and nothing. It was sunny and tropical feeling after the rain stopped this morning. Now it is raining heavy off and on and rumbling in the mountains and 77°. I am patiently waiting… Read more »

Oh dear prayers for JoAnn’s brother. I hope he does well.
Maybe you could ask your doctor friend at that clinic to order it for you. You could even call the nurse for the NP to ask her to ask the NP to go on and order the test so you can get results at your 17th appointment. The NP can see in the chart it is already recommended. Of course you probably don’t really care anyway to wait.

Bob has had a lot of surgeries in his life but this one is more serious. I never remember …..but something needed to be removed and then they discovered other more serious problems that had to be done before they could do that surgery and this is a high risk surgery

Karen Marie
August 31, 2026 6:33 pm

That really is scary. Do you have any details as to when he will have the surgery? I’m thinking he is an in-patient, so it could be at any time. I know you are so worried, Ardyth. I am praying for a smooth surgery. I know you are also. He sounds like a pretty strong guy. 🙏

Yes JoAnn is amazed he is still her with the living after all he has been through so much including

Good morning! Boy we had a doozy of a storm it was wonderful. When I gave Nick her pills outside like I always do at 2:00 AM it was warm and calm and about an hour and a half later all heck broke loose it was windy almost blew the door open and there was thundering and it was lightning and then it started pouring it was great the temperature was 73 degrees. Now it’s 80 degrees and very humid and muggy but it’s getting dark again out there looks like we could get more rain. My knee was better… Read more »
