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 need a break bib
you always say BIB and I say BRB (BE RIGHT BACK) what does bib stand for?
Back in a bit, people use that a lot on the Youtube chats, I watch a lot of lives
Now I know….thanks
Did you know its illegal to collect rain water in Colorado? that’s part of a live stream discussion I’m watching, rain is free it falls from the sky how can it be regulated? it makes no sense?
here some people have rain barrels..the garden club sells them.
they have them here too
Rain barrels here to, I’m going to look up why? has to do with water rights, if I wanted rain water to water my vegetables that supplies me food I’m going to collect some, its not like its coming from a resrvoir? it would just fall on the ground anyhow if you didn’t collect some of it, they don’t own the clouds or what the clouds do…
Does Colorado have chronic drought that made this law? If not I think it is sorta dumb.
Its a water rights thing and that’s been going on a long time out west. They make money off of it-the water rights people take a majority of the water-even when its so low there is none so they go after the rain water. That whole system needs to be over hauled. The laws are old and there’s not as much water but they take the same large amount because its what’s owed to them regardless of a drought so less should be taken, because there isn’t any
I’m thinking it would depend on the quantity. A barrel or so, for a small garden, might not matter for the summer. But collecting a whole lot of it, which could go to waste, would not be good. Collecting it and selling it would also be bad, in my opinion. I can understand the rules in that matter. We have frequent droughts. Just my thoughts.
That doesn’t make sense
I posted below why…. I would still collect it if I was growing a garden
Still doesn’t make sense to me.
makes no sense at all
I have to take a nap before it gets too late. Have a great afternoon, everyone. 💓
Good night, er, good nap! See by coming in the afternoon you got to talk to me and Julie!
Yes, and it has been great!!! Wish I could stay longer. But I would be talking in my sleep. 😍 See y’all later.
I’m kind of sleepy too Karen Marie💤 I was thinking that when I read your post, see you later maybe?
I’m sorry i missed you, Julie.
Yipee I just saw the school bus go by, it was the first day of school here today😍
Such a fun day!!
Oh yes I like seeing it go by😍in the past the bus has gone by and the kids wave at me, I love that😘
they always start after Labor Day here
our kids have been in school for a week or so…I/we used to start after Labor Day.
When will you do your study, Debbie?
She said they had equipment problems so now they are backed up. They are supposed to call in a couple days to schedule so I’ll know then.
Ok. Do you have to prepare?
Just have to put it on before bed. I can’t remember how many pieces. The main piece was a strap that goes around your chest. Seems I wore a thing on my finger that measures oxygen like doctor offices use. And a thing that looks like it is to delivery oxygen but is really just to measure respiration.
Much easier than sensors taped to your scalp.
Definitely, and being in an unfamiliar bed and told to sleep 3 hours before usual. I had trouble sleeping very much.
Me too. I don’t know how they expect to get a good result from something like that. Nobody is sleeping the way they normally do when they’re away from home and all tied up.
Right!
I remember my mom doing that…my sister set it up and there were lots of instructions to follow.
It isn’t too hard now. I did it two years ago.
Map quest refuses to change the name of Lake Ontario
How cool is that?!!!!
I just found that out it was on CNN
Go CNN!!
Go Mapquest.
we can change it to what ever we want if you get the inter active app, I think I would keep it Ontario but also concidering Lake Dolly😍
As much as I love Dolly I would choose Lake Ontario. It was named for the natives before Canada was a country.
Not for they named it back in 1647 the natives named it
🤣 Goodnight for now.
Back already. It went exactly as I suspected. Very fast! I wish I had a stop watch on. I managed to say/ask what I wanted but replies were fast, a little technical, I said more, She said let’s do a sleep study, Boom! She stood up and walking to the door like come and pointed what direction I should go to leave. Before I said my last little bit she was already ordering machine supplies, then changed to let’s order a sleep study. The nurse just did bp and oxygen. No weight, no history, no medication. Bamb!
Yay Debbie!!! So glad it went better this time. I just finished an at-home nurse study with this new program. I’m tired now, so taking a nap. Again, i’m glad it went quickly and smoothly this time. You are on a win-win ride. 🥰 Keep up the good work. See you later.
Hi Karen. How did the nurse thing go? Did you get any good advice or information?
Hi Debbie. It was exhausting, very intensive. Walking, exercise testing, diet talk, history and med notes. She will put it all together and see what help they can provide: equipment, monitoring, advice, nurse med checks, and the list goes on.
Do you feel optimistic after your visit?
I take ice water EVERYWHERE
I do too, or my tea. When I go out of the county I have both, and a cooler.
Great idea. I haven’t had iced tea in a long tine. I’m going to make some now!
This is just Crystal Light. Then I put lemon juice in it.
I boil my own tea bags, add a little sugar to it after draining into a pitcher, stir it up, and then add water to fill the pitcher. Then into the fridge. Sometimes, i used to pour some into washed coke bottles and slightly freeze them for home or travel. So refreshing!
Sounds good Karen. I think I should try using real tea, I might even have some now. Do you actually boil the water with the tea bags in there, or boil, then put the tea bags in there? How long do you steep them. I like a full bodied flavor.
I bring the water, about a quart, to a simmer and then put the 5 tea bags (tied together) in the pot and simmer for about 30 mins. Let sit for about 30 mins with lid on. Then pour all into 2-qt. pitcher. Then add ice cubes and stir until tea is cold, then add cold water til pitcher is full, and then put into fridge. As soon as it is all cold, I can also either pour it into ice cubed glass, to drink now, or pour into carry container with a few ice cubes. Ice cubes dilute strength,… Read more »
Thanks Karen! That is a long process. So basically 5 regular tea bags simmered in 3 cups of water then enough water/ice to make two quarts. Thank you for typing all of that.
It wasn’t too hard — I should have known to voice record a recipe. Note: the order of the actions is important. This is my great-grandmother’s recipe.
I need to save it!
😃 If you like it, you can ask me again. You will probably remember it, though.
Take a picture it will last longer😂
Good idea
I used to say to my brother Micheal when he was staring at me “take a picture it will last longer”😂
🤣
Then I would moon him😂
Silly girl.
🤣😂
I used to make sun tea every summer but found out it’s not good to do that..so now I just google the easy instructions but didnt ‘this year, I don’t add anything.
The longer you let it steep the stronger it gets, if its to strong delete with a little water
Right. 😅 Hi Butterfly. 🦋 😘
Thats the beauty of making tea just have to make it strong and its fool proof
You are right. 😅
and squeeze the tea bags. I think Lipton has the best tasting black tea its the blend they have😋
Yeah, I did forget to say squeeze the tea bags, to get all of the flavor out. Very important item. Thanks Julie.
I haven’t tried the black tea yet. Just the standard tea bag. I bet it would be really good.
You are probably using black tea.
Maybe. I just know what the box looks like. Never read all the particulars. 😂🤪
Yep, I am using black tea. I have used basically the same boxed tea since I was a kid. I know exactly what I like and exactly what to look for and I haven’t paid attention to any of the rest. 🤣 Never paid attention to all the herbal teas, etc. Just give me my simple tea bag. Call me a fuddy duddy or stuck in the past, but . . . .
I try new things then go back to the original.
I should do that, too. Maybe one day.
Nothing wrong knowing what you like, plus you drink it😋
Lipton is black tea it should say on the box black tea has caffeine, herbal is caffeine free
Yep. You are right. 😆
Actually I start with 3 cups of water. I had to get my pot and measurng cup out to remember exactly. 🤣😂
I love down south sweet tea, good old Lipton makes a great black tea😋I don’t need or like the sugar though😝
Ditto on the Southern sweet tea. I was raised on it. YUM!! No milk at our supper table!! ☺️
Definitely.
I had sweet tea when we went to dinner😋
I really hope she can help you in some way Karen. I want you to feel better! Did you tell her about falling asleep for hours at the table?
I feel optimistic in that I will do another sleep study and I hope it shows normal. If it doesn’t I may ask my primary to refer me to someone else that can monitor and advise. This woman is pleasant, but just doesn’t take enough time to explain things well.
I understand your frustration. And you have a good plan. I think that right now you are putting more into the process than the supposed expert. So frustrating. I need them to show me they understand my problem and are smart enough to fix it. I also feel optimistic about the new sleep study!!
I explained the table sleep problem. She said she would keep it in mind while studying all the data. I gave her a lot to work with.
Sounds like you did a very good job Karen and were thorough! Good for you! I hope she can help you put together your health puzzle. That puzzle has a lot of pieces!
I am a really discombobulated unit, Debbie.
🤣🥰
😂 I don’t think I have ever spelled discombobulated before its a fun word😃
Wow!! they she was thorough😍
Yes and it took forever! I wasn’t expecting it. 😄
Hummmm? so the study is to check how you are and it will be current so when do you go back? can they read results from your house? not sure how its done?
I think they read results when you return the stuff you wear over night. Then a doctor who specialized in sleep disorders reads it and files a report. I’ll probably see the results on the patient portal if I still have it before I see her.
So you actually take the unit home with you and do the sleep study at home? That is great!
Yes .
Oh the study is only for one night, I was thinking it would take at least a month, one night just seems like they wouldn’t learn much because we sleep differently every night. That doc. has a easy job
You would think so.
