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.

Is the PM section working for anyone? I can get to the sign in and personal info sections, but there’s nowhere to post and send PMs. ???

I meant anywhere to post the PM and then send. Kind of archaic, I guess. I can post regular msgs fine. At the moment, anyway.

I can’t find where to do pm’s now but if you go to your own account page (or anyone go to their own) it’s all different now…are you logged in because your avatar is not there

“All different?” Putting it lightly. Is it possible to give notice before prior to modifying the site?

We can get notifications about things happening at nest sites so I don’t know why we can’t get notifications about upcoming updates.

You are right Karen. Remember you can text me or message me. Or you could call but you might get the 5th degree! 😁🤣. Remember when I had to be sure it was you calling me? 😂

Yep, I remember trying to come up with some way to prove my identity over the phone. 😂 I kept asking, is this Debbie, or is this Jo? And you keep asking, who is this? It took us a while to figure it all out. I think I must have been thinking that maybe you would eventually recognize my voice, but then, how could you? We don’t talk with voice usually. 🤣🥰 I’ll be better prepared next time.

Right, it opens and allows me to change id info, but there is no inbox or place to prepare message or select recipient. It’s like the only thing there is ID or personal data.

Thanks, it’s okay, but i think it is a SPO issue. I don’t have this trouble anywhere else. I can’t use this system on my PC. No microphone, and RA doesn’t help with typing on the bigger keyboard.

Anytime I’m going to be using any kind of messaging these days, I try to use my phone and, yes, I use the microphone most of the time. However, I am pretty quick with just one hand on the little keyboard.
