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.

I think I have questions in my head if she gives me time to ask them. I’ll leave about 12:30, start making my way out just before that. I’m not going to wear my boots since I won’t be doing much walking. But, alas, I will put on my bra! I suspect she will order another home sleep study.

Good morning sweet heart😘good time for your appointment-getter done. I need another cup of coffee. Hey I was thinking about Jo and her vision, would having a strong pair of cheeter glasses help her? was thinking about her using a magnifying glass, and that glasses might help? you can get them at the Dollar store

She went to look at them at Walgreens. They were $15 and she didn’t buy them. Jo is very tight with her money. She thinks she can do with the magnifying glass. Even after the surgery she may need reading glasses which I’m sure will be prescription. I think I’ll tell her the drug store ones could be put in one of the vehicles as a backup, she gets out out someone and realizes she left her reading glasses at home.

It is now, but they were owned by the same corporation for 10 years, probably why they were a combo store but now they aren’t.

Good morning Bellas slept so good last night, Have days of bad weather coming. Roofs are still being fixed from hail damage months ago. Yesterday when I walked home from ugentcareI walked by the creek at the end of the street they did a controlled burn on both sides of the creek for the native plants, Prarie flowers they have planted down there. The morning I had my burn I thought I could smell something burning and it was just down the street. No plans today just this and that. Jade is having a zoomies morning, playing with her balls… Read more »

Good morning Sunshine. That silly cat! But she is happy, and makes her momma happy. Hope you don’t have bad storms. I didn’t get the best sleep the last couple nights, totally my fault. It has been hot and I have drank a lot of ice water and Crystal Light tea. Yes I’m well hydrated. But I had to pee through the night. My body always seems to need the bathroom more frequently than most. But I usually do ok through the night. I’ve just got to curtail the drinking at night, but I just seem to crave liquids.

On behalf of the staff of the Raptor Center, we would like to share our condolences with the friends and family of a true friend to wildlife Ms. Dolly Parton. Did you know that in addition to her incredible philanthropy towards reading and literature, that in 2023 Dolly Parton was awarded with a Partnership Award from the US Fish and Wildlife Service for her work with the American Eagle Foundation to rehabilitate and release over a hundred bald eagles in the Smokey Mountains?

Aw, thank you for posting this, Debbie. Dolly has the biggest heart. And I can imagine she had a special love for our magnificent bald eagles. A gift to only us and Canada. I was just up for a bit, reading over some posts and trying to catch up a little. I ate another donut and am going back to bed now. I did have a big lunch. I hope you sleep good. I think you have an appt later today, if i read things right. I hope the prep goes better than last time. I know you will give… Read more »

A good idea. You could send a male and call him Don. Dolly loves butterflies and I don’t think Carl would mind.

The eagle enclosure has been there a long time now, at least since the mid 1990’s. I first went to Dollywood soon after it opened, I think 1986. I can’t remember if it was there then or not.
