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 neighbor came over and charged it yesterday morning. Then, a couple of hours later, we tried to leave for the vet, but again, the car wouldn’t start. So our neighbor charged it again, using a different method, and gave us a pair of fancy jumper cables in case we needed them. Well, we just kept the car running all day. Got home so beat — don’t remember anything else. Except giving D meds and eating supper. 😅

The vet agreed with my diagnosis after only a minimal exam. He prescribed the same meds. They are not willing yet to give out the meds without at least a quick exam. I am tempted to hold back 2 of the antibiotic and nausea pills.

Yes. He said she would probably continue to have flare-ups, as it never truly goes away. Some just are lucky and never have symptoms again.

This was a different vet than last time. She was off yesterday.
