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 night Pam and peepers. Love to my Bella buds and to all a good night.
Karen I said good night somewhere below to you. You aren’t forgotten, never will be.
Karen Marie, I read somewhere in the scroll that you weren’t feeling well. I hope you get to feeling better soon💛 I’m looking forward to sharing Monarch stories with you next Summer🙂
Monarch babies I can’t wait😍
Are you going to raise alot of them again? Hopefully my three Swamp milkweed and orange butterfly bush will survive Winter. I’ll be planting more pollinator plants they love. They went crazy over the Blazing Star plants.
Well golly, here it is the perfect time for me to check in to SPO and folk have gone to bed…lol. So I’ll leave this message and folk will see it maybe tomorrow🙂 Today was a treat because I got to talk to a special so and so in the lovely state of Kentucky! Hmmm, who could that be…..hee hee. Could it be the wonderful, kind, saucy imp known as Ky Debbie? After a marathon chat with her, which was so nice, I made a meat loaf, a sauce to go with it and made the rest of the dressing… Read more »
You stinker butt! 😂. I am saucy. I like sauce, sauce is the icing on the meatloaf, which is what I had for supper. But my saice was sugar free ketchup! Bet it wasn’t as good as yours. Did you have a veggie with that yummy meat loaf?
Um, parsley😁 That was my veggie, in the meat loaf😁 You had meat loaf too for supper? I got the craving for it after reSING ardy’s comment the other day that she had meat loaf. I added brown sugar to the sauce to balance the mustard.
So the meatloaf sauce is made of brown sugar and mustard? It looked red. I was craving meat loaf too. Mine came from Cracker Barrel.
Girl! I love me some Cracker Barrel! The one here has a wonderful gift shop which I mostly just roam and look. Kind of pricey. So, the sauce I made was a combo of ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and worcestershire.
Oh sounds delicious. Brown sugar really makes it.
It is, though I should be good like you and do sugar free. 😁
nawww.
EXACTLY!!
Well, there you are!✋🙂
How are you? Busy making meatloaf, I see! 😍 I really look forward to Monarch season.
Are you raising Monarch’s too Karen?
Not yet Debbie, but I aim too. I am getting serious about it.
Good for you!
Looking forward to you experiencing it. 🙂
I had to google how to spell worcestershire sauce. I just call it woo sauce!😁
Woo sauce is what I’ve called it since . . . ever. 🙂
Funny! What goofball decided to give it such a long hard to pronounce name? Well one more thing to add to my list of Google look ups! Maybe named after a town or family in England..
😅😂🤣
Like minds …🙂 Well darn, I have to sign off. My carpal tunnel is hurting alot from typing. I’ll be coming here more frequently so see you soon! Nightie night.
Hope you feel better. See you soon I hope. 😊🥰
I add brown sugar to the sauce also. 🤗
I have a huge sweet tooth…actually I must have several because I love sugar😋😋😋😋
😁
Yeah, I have a mouthful too. Sugar or something sweet on everything. Pineapple on ham, sugar on cereal, and the list goes on. Will you be back on this weekend?
I have been using sucralose. I’m not sure how bad it is for you but it helps me and I’m doing it.
I use sucralose also. I sometimes call it sugar, because it tastes like sugar to me. But sometimes I use real sugar if the recipe calls for that kind of consistency.. Not often.
I use monk fruit in my tea.
Believe it or not, I have never heard of that.
I tried it monk fruit and allulose in powder form and I recently bought liquid sucralose and liquid monk fruit. I haven’t used the liquid monk fruit enough yet to judge but I did a taste test and I think I like the sucralose best. Then I got to looking at some sugar free things I’ve used and like for years. Crystal light powdered drinks and G Hughes sauce. They both are sweetened with sucralose!
Monk fruit tastes too sweet to me so I try to stick with honey. One thing I dislike is Stevia.
The secret is using it in the right proportion. I think the liquid is better than the powdered. I’m trying to lose weight so I don’t want the calories of honey.
Go for it sister!😁 I use monk fruit in my tea or honey. Okay, now I’m off to bed. See you soon.
Good night sweetie.
Goodnight Lin. 😊🤗
I get good cooking Ideas here at Bellas😋
I bet I know who inspires you….smile…….Even though she has her own private chef! Why Ardy of course!!😊😋
Another meatloaf!? I really have to make one now. Tomorrow! I hope you are doing good, Lin. 🥰
I wonder if Winter brings on some kind of meat loaf craving? Like how it makes folks want to make hearty soups and stews.
I’m hanging in there….literally…lol…As I age, things seem to”hang” more and more. It is so nice to have a break from all the gardening. How are you doing?
Break from gardening? Oh no, I could do it year round. 🤗 Definitely meatloaf for supper. Several times during the winter. I am doing good, other than I get tired a lot, but it’s just the way it is. Will you do anything exciting this winter?
I wish I could but my back would not. I have to use hired hands as it is to do all the digging and planting. So you know why you get rired alot? When my thyroid or parathyroid levels are abnormal, that can make me feel super pooped.
I do take Levothyroxine, and maybe my thyroid levels are fluctuating. I see the doctor on the 5th, I will mention that. Thanks for the tip. 😉 I would just love to get out there in the garden and till, and dig, and plant etc etc. Nothing like the feeling of moist soil in my hands and planting seeds. But .. . I enjoyed it while I could.
Your meatloaf looks delish Lin and the food display worthy of a cover for a cookbook😋 Did you get to hear Casey?
Hi🙂 Am catching up on messages. Who is Casey?? Yep, that meatloaf was yum. Thanks. Though I don’t know about a cookbook cover ha ha. I’ve never made really great meatloaf. Usually on the dry side. This one I tried stuffing and milk to bind and moisten. It was the best. I gobbled it up over several meals. My brother is coming here for Christmas Day so I’m going to make a meatloaf again. He doesn’t like pork, otherwise I’d have ham.
Now I know who Cassy is. Yep, I got to hear him! LOUD!
Looks like everyone is gone. What? What’s that I hear? Surely not my Bella Phamily. It is! SNORING! I caught you.
Am I the only one here?😁
Karen is here. I just saw her.
Hi Kentucky🙂💛✋ I made meat loaf, etc, after we got off the telly. What did you do? Am sitting in my recliner after cleaning up all the dishes from the cooking. I’m tired and lazy now.
Watched NBCNews, fed Casey. Feb me. Did a jigsaw puzzle, watching the Taylor Swift docu thing. Your meatloaf looks so good.
I’m not sure who mentioned Taylor having been on Stephen Colbert and it could be seen on You tube so I watched that last night. Maybe PamCo or Karen Marie. I would love to see the documentary but don’t want to sign up to stream it. I am sure eventually it will come pit on DVD and then I will get it. Now that I gave up Cable and have free TV I don’t have free access to certain channels. I love Taylor. She os an amazing young woman. Soproud of all she has accomplished.
Two 1 hour episodes of her 8 part series was on one of the broadcast networks, I forgot which. I don’t know if the remaining 6 episodes will be on my tv or not.
I don’t know a lot about Taylor but have heard she is really a good person who does good things.
I only know what I’ve seen on TV. I only have one of her CD’s. The one called RED. Fun road trip music. I’m going to sign out shortly and watch look for movie to watch while Google your Gov. and that gastro leg thing you have. Typing is making my hands hurt. Darn carpal tunnel.
I really only get into country music. I usually don’t care for musical shows where they sing and dance. The showmanship doesn’t interest me as much as the singing, I I don’t think the singing is as good with all the theatrical dancing. She sat down once and played the piano and sang, I enjoyed that. I wonder if the carpal tunnel was because of all the blood pressures I bet you took? Jo had some trouble with that for awhile and thought that was the reason. Now sweetheart you get off the computer and go do your wind down… Read more »
Tell Jo I love LPN’s and that I know they are the backbone of nursing in this country.
I have to be really moved by a singer to watch a whole show of any performer.
I think my carpal tunnel came from gardening, giving massages and also typing. You are right that nurses can get it from work tasks.
Going to say nightie night back to you dear Debbie. Excited to google your Gov.🙂 Night✋😴
Good night Lin. So nice to talk with you, and I’m lucky to call you friend.
Still here though not typing. Getting off right now. Right back at you friend….you are a gift as well 💛 See you soon. Will come here more frequently. Night…….
Amen on the LPNs. 😉
Tired and lazy is good. 🥰
I like it! I’m an expert in it. I should teach a class.
I already had the class. It’s great!
Sure is…ha ha. Okay….I’m outta here. 🐿️✋
You always find me. 🙂
I look for you.
Sometimes I think we play tag. Time for you to go to bed..
I just told Jo I’m LATE for bed.
Yep, you are! You better get yourself in that comfortable bed and start relaxing 🤗
Ok sweetheart I love you. Be sure you eat and get yourself in bed. Snuggle with your baby and have peace and happy dreams. 🥰♥️
Good night.
Good night sweetie – love and hugs.❤️ 🤗 Happy dreams to you too. See you tmrw. Nite-nite
I have to go to bed……good night
g’night Ardyth 😴
Good night and sweet dreams. Love. ♥️
Good night Ardyth. I hope you are feeling okay and have pleasant dreams tonight. Give Roger a hug for me the next time you see him. I don’t know how late he stays out. 😊
Oh crap I forgot to ask Ardy how Roger was doing. Guess I haven’t seen her a lot with her time gone and my time on the phone.
Things have been a little bit busy, with Julie getting back, your big trip, and some of us not feeling well, etc. So it’s hard to remember everything, every minute. We know we have all been thinking about and worrying about Roger. I’m so glad he got into the vet so soon.
I am too. I hope he is better but I do know it takes time. But he did get a shot, usually the antibiotic shots help speed things up.
I think him wanting to go back outside, when he was wanting to sleep before, is a good sign. I agree, antibiotics are great.
You are right.
Going to watch the movie maybe see you later if not have a wonderful night😘
Good night Moonbow love and wishes for a peaceful night at home with Jade.
Thanks sweetie I still have to finish laundry and feed Jade, better get moving
g’night Julie 😴 enjoy your movie
Good night Julie. 🦋 😍
Hey! Been up and down all day (more down than up). Just stopped in to say hello. Thought I might be able to stay up for a while, but I’m not sure. I’m fine though. Just needed some extra rest. Ardyth, I love your pictures from the fair. Glad you had a nice time. Pam, I’m really glad you’re going to get this business taken care of on Monday. I would say more, but you said it all — why can’t they just do their job? Julie, I’m glad you’re back at home, I thought you would rest for a… Read more »
Hi Karen Marie, I just got up for a bit, laid under the covers to get warm, going to cook dinner and watch the “Bells of Saint Mary at 7 pm, I have watched just about all the Christmas movies and this one is one of my favorites. Hope you got to watch your channels today- you can type in the name of the sight-channel you want. YouTube will pull it up for you
