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.

Our neighbors on the corner are moving Two guys live there. Rick talked to him this morning and whoever owned the house has now sold it again so I wonder what will happen now I imagine somebody rent it out or sell it Oh goody I sure wish we could talk the new person that bought the house into getting rid of that aluminum fence that the one girl put up and now we can’t see anything

Back from running errands was a interesting time. The way I usually go I couldn’t go that way which is a shorter walk the street was blocked off by police and they had guns out. I think maybe a drug bust going on, I’m not sure? when I walked pass again they had long guns out😳 I got the heck out of there. Turned the AC on home and having coffee😍

Oh dear Julie I’m glad you didn’t get shot! So many innocent people die from stray bullets, including children.

Hello
I finished cleaning this morning. I am meet Lori for lunch at Ole at Noon. I used to work with her and it has been many years since I have seen her. Her and her first DH lived down the street from my mom. We always thought Rick and i would live in moms house and her and i would drink coffee together. Her oldest son dies of an overdose after being clean….and his friends took his money and left him to die.
So we are looking forward to meeting up.

That will be so much fun to see an old friend, you will have a lot to talk about. So what happened about your mother’s house if that was the plan. That is horrible about Lori’s son. Not exactly “friends”. Enjoy your lunch.

Rick and I decided we didn’t want to live up there It was too far north for us We like being central where everything’s closer and the yard wasn’t fenced in She lived on an acre lot.There were mountain lions out there at one time and big snakes etc. and our pets wouldn’t have been safe so we opted to stay in our house and we sold it and real nice split the profit

Good morning Bella Buds. Seems everyone will be hot today. This is probably the last really hot weather for us. I hope I can get over my tiredness today. I have been unusually busy for a week. And Jo is getting on my nerves. Not being able to read or play her games is making her cranky, especially at night. I understand but it isn’t easy for me either. It is a shame how long this has stretched out. Everything is WAIT. She first noticed something wrong in February but actually not being able to read has persisted about 2… Read more »

Jo? Nancy has MD. Jo has a lens implant that has slipped out of place, so basically she has no lens to look through. It is a shame she has had to wait so long. She started out with eye pain and the retina specialist sent her for cardiac tests, thought the blood might not be getting to the eye. Stress test, I think echo. Then she saw our ophthalmologist who thought dry eyes. I can’t remember if she saw that retina specialist or not again, but the last one she saw was a retina specialist from the same bunch… Read more »

She wouldn’t want to color. Thank goodness she can drive. She goes all over just about every day. Most people go to recycling no more than once a week, she goes most days. She would literally drive me crazy if I had to drive her everywhere she wants to go. She can watch tv but interferes with what I can watch. Usually she doesn’t care about tv because she rather play her games. So I have to watch a lot of my shows on my iPad. That interferes with posting here on my iPad which I do a lot when… Read more »

I think it accentuates whatever mood you are in. It removes all your restraints. If you are in a good mood you get silly. If you are sad you feel sadder. If you have an aggressive personality you may get violent.
