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.

Good early afternoon! I apologize if I’ve worried anyone. I’ve been in a funk. The reality of how broken my body is has started weighing on me now. I guess dealing wth 2 issues in one week was too much for my sissy self. 😨 Then, the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I was on shift at the police dept when that happened. We received many photos and voice recordings from the scene, although they didn’t come in very fast (probably a blessing). We were all crying and were trying to help not only regular citizens with day to day problems,… Read more »

My goodness Karen, there’s no need for “heeling”. You posted lovely, inspiring words to chat. I read them out to Kitty/Chuck; we appreciated them more than you know. {{HUGS]} And Friday, the 11th was hard on everyone. 💔 Not to mention getting old is just not as much fun as it should be 😟

So true, Pam. Each is it’s own heartache. Combined, they are a beast. I’m just glad my prayers were answered and I am feeling more optimistic today. 😉

Karen I know about your shoulders. Was the second thing your hands? Sweetheart you are far far away from a sissy self. Any one of your issues would get most people down! But some of those issues will be fixed. It will happen. You hang in there you sweet person. I guess 9 11 was hard on everyone, but I guess all you saw extra and heard did take a big toll on that tender heart of yours. Were you in Colorado at that time? You had that many contacts for what was happening in NYC, DC, and PA? How… Read more »

Thank you Debbie. Last week was right shoulder and right eye. Yes, i was in Colo Spgs on 9/11. One thing I learned about police officers is that they share everything with each other. I guess it’s the only way they can survive and remain sane. It was like a network. Other cities’ police and fire shared throughout the country in order to help in assisting citizens with their questions and solicit help in some situations. I can’t tell what is wrong with Dutchess exactly. She has been nauseated. I need to spoil her extra when she is not feeling… Read more »

Oh I forgot your eye for a minute. How does it feel now? You also talked about your hands maybe Friday. I guess that was more on my mind than the eye. Poor little Dutchess, hope she feels better soon. It is hard to have a baby sick. I understand Karen about not wanted to talk when so much is going on. Just ignore me! I know I’m overboard sometimes. I’m overboard a LOT of the time.

You are fine, Debbie. Don’t ever feel bad about caring. Stay just the way you are. I did talk a little about my hand, as now that i won’t have surgery on my right shoulder, i can concentrate on my right hand. My eye feels good, knock on wood. But it makes the left one look bad now. 😅 Little D is sassy today. I’m thinking she is better. Don’t know what caused the problem. I will always worry now, after the initial scare.

Thanks Karen. Im glad Ms. Sassy is feeling better. Maybe she is like her mama, just gets an upset tummy sometimes. Let’s see. You won’t have surgery on the right shoulder but you will on the left? One more eye to do. Both hands. Or just one?

I cooked roasted veggies. Okra, baby carrot, onion, a small bell pepper, a whole baked sweet potato, chunked up little white potatoes, yellow summer squash. I baked a boxed, seasoned salmon, brand Morey’s I think.

I used to like getting breakfast at Cracker Barrell. The one I liked the nest had country ham, eggs, hash browns, grits, biscuits. I think there was an option of fried apples? Can’t remember. You could get jam , apple butter.

All the song birds-most birds migrate at night. That’s why they tell people to turn their outdoor lights off it interfears with their migration, the lights are distracting and can cause them to crash into things
