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’ve been on the phone with sister Nancy a little over an hour. Before she called I ordered me a new printer, so got that done.
that’s great
I spent more on the printer than most but I got a tank inkjet. It will cost way less for ink. Over time it is supposed to pay for itself in ink costs.
I’ve had my printer for years I think it’s the second one I’ve ever had. what I was gonna say is I have the the ink cartridges and what makes me mad is I don’t use the printer very often but you need it for some things so the cartridges dry up before I even finish them because I don’t use them enough. And they’re not cheap
That is a selling point of the tank printers. But you still need to print something. Best one page a week, but you could probably get by with less. And the ink is so much cheaper that doesn’t really matter. It comes with enough ink to last about 3 years. It will probably last me 5! The ink I mean.
I don’t do much printing and my printer is still work so I think I’ll just keep what I have for now
Don’t blame you. My printer just won’t work and I’ve googled for the error message and tried it all and I gave up. The printer is pretty old now anyway.
Yeaah if its not broke
I have never had a printer
I use mine quite a bit. When I find a recipe I like I like to have a paper copy. I like to have paper directs and maps when I go certain places. When I watch Survivor I print out little thumbnail pictures and very brief info on all the players to help me keep up with who is who and which one someone is talking about. So just different things. Sometimes I print out instructions, manuals, etc that I just prefer paper copies of.
I’m the copier-pen and paper😂
Ardyth, I use an old printer also with HP ink cartridges. I love it, but I have always had the same problem. I was buying a new cartridge every 2 months, at about 25 bucks a pop. Then I got desperate one time and I grabbed an old tightly-knitted, flat, no cable stitching, sweater that I had laying around. Then I covered the entire printer with it, with an extra amount at the openings. (Where paper is added, and where printed pages slide out). And any other openings. Fingers crossed, so far it has worked, and it has saved me… Read more »
HI Debbie. I have to get a new printer. What one did you get?
Epson tank ET-2980. Not a Walmart price at $329! But I probably should have got the 2900 and it would have been fine at about 100 less. They both come with about 3 years worth of ink for most people, and copies and scans. They have a tank one even cheaper but it only prints, it doesn’t copy.
We’ve only had HP printers and my computer is an HP. I wonder if they have the tanks? Will have to check.
I think they do but the Epson is apparently supposed to be better. I have an HP now, it is cartilage. I did a lot of reading with different sites and AI.
Consumer Reports only rated the Epson for tank printers.
I only buy HP too
Wonderful Debbie, Nancy is doing good today? how are her dogs? things better at the house for her?
Nancy is doing good except her eyes.
That is too bad. Can she still drive?
So far.
GOOD
I guess I have to log in every time on my phone bummer 😫
😫 does it just happen on your phone?
Yes it does
Can you use your computer? is the phone just easier?
I use my computer all the time julie you It’s just when I take pictures on my phone I don’t have to download them to my computer to post so I just use my phone and it makes it faster and that’s when I found out I had to log in otherwise i’m on my laptop ninety nine point nine percent of the time
I knew you did both but I thought maybe a little more phone than that.
Oh I use it for texting a lot. And I take pictures but when I’m chatting on chat and I take a picture of something it’s easier just to do it by the phone then I don’t have to download it to computer first
That makes sense and it saves time too😃
I import everything to my computer but I don’t have to do it after every picture I take so they eventually get on my laptop
My iPad and phone do it automatically. I stopped using a laptop.
I cant watch eagles and things on small things or type on small devices
My Ipad is 13 inches and the way I hold it it is closer to my eyes than a laptop screen.
My laptop has my photo albums/files of all my pictures I take…..much nicer format for me.
My iPad does that too. I just haven’t organized as well as you.
Do you use your phone a lot? I’ve gotten so I do more talking on my phone than our landline because I could put people on speakerphone and I like that
I do more talking on the phone I think now too.
I never wanted to talk on my cell but that is the number friends have in their phones so……but I am liking it better now too
The only thing I like better about the landphone is I have 4 extensions, I’m always close to one unless I’m in the bathroom or garage. I don’t carry my cell phone around in the house. A lot of time I don’t know it even rang, especially in warmer weather when we have fans running which makes it impossible to hear the cell in the living room when I am in any other part of the house.
It is handy to go to contacts and just touch a number to dial.
That would drive me nuts
Good thing I am on my laptop 99% of the time…but it remembers me and my PW so it goes easy
We had some white bread so I thought it was the perfect time to have a SPAM sandwich for lunch but, we didn’t have any Spam. Rick was going grocery shopping so he picked up a can for me and that is what I had for lunch.
Yummy and with mustard and yellow mustard😋
Cheese and a little very little yellow mustard🧀🧀
You don’t need much yellow mustard a little bit goes a long way😋we have the national mustard museum here. I have been there
Very cool. I would like to visit that.
I am not a big fan of mustard in fact I don’t put mustard on anything except my spam sandwich and that was more than I normally put on
I like yellow mustard but not spicy mustard.
I love it all😋 Hi Becki😘 you pair mustard with cheese
Honey mustard is good too.
Honey mustard is a dressing I make
Hot honey is the new limited edition
Heinz has a honey mustard totally different than honey mustard dressing. It tastes more like plain mustard, just with a little touch of sweetness and a little less bite than regular yellow mustard. I use it on ham sandwiches because it has very few calories but would never put it on a salad. Yuk!
Not all honey mustard is not good
Are you talking about dressing or a condiment? They are totally different products. One is more for sandwiches. One is more for salads.
I only eat honey mustard on chicken
I dont like spicy either
German brown spicey mustard goes with pork, brats.
Rick likes it
have you been through that julie
Yes I have its really a cool place with mustard from all over the USA
Cool place it sounds like
Oh yes and you can do a mustard tasting too😍
i’m not a big fan of mustard so I don’t think I would do a lot of tasting😂
You do a tasting you get to eat a soft pretzle😋
That i would love🥨🥨
😄
I bet Spam really does make a good sandwich.
It does but you have to make it😂
Just slice and microwave!
I pan fry it I want it to get brown, frying it helps to remove the fat
I always pan fry too. I like it browned.
Have to have the browned flavor😘
YUP!
no no no you don’t want to microwave it you wanna fry it in the pan and get it brown on both Sides
I know it is better that way.
Back in the day when i went “camping” for Prom we ate spam right out of the can!!!!!!!!!!
😂😝 I couldn’t eat it cold to much fat
That looks so good. I use yellow mustard too.😀
it was good, that’s the only way I eat a Spam sandwich. it’s gotta be white bread and I put cheese on it and just a little bit of mustard although I wish it would have been Wonder Bread that would have been better too much crust on this bread
I am eclectic. Sometimes I’m in a mustard mode, sometimes a Miracle Whip.
I do both😋
I just got my order from Current…I ordered Christmas cards and some stickers ( not Christmas) and they sent me 7 sheets of stickers when I should of only had two/ one of each. I got $15 worth of free stickers.
Stickers
Pretty ones😘
I thought so
Wow Ardy you should have enough stickers to last a long time.
😄i know……plus the ones i already have
Hey Ardyth! Good deal for you 😘
No kidding…they oughta last a while!!
Awesome Ardyth😍
😁

Wendy’s will be closing stores in 15 states can’t keep up with the beef prices. I wonder who will be next?
Where’s the beef? LOL
If I ate that beef I would 🤮🤢
😂

I didn’t hear what states but found this, I know people like Wendu’s. I do but don’t get to eat there that often
A couple days ago there was a garden site on Facebook and they were talking about moon flowers and everybody was posting pictures. I didn’t know it was a private site until I went to post my picture so then I had to join but anyway I just was looking at all the pictures and and reading some of the comments. And I saw one lady asked if somebody would sell her some seeds and I said well I’ll give you some seeds And she was just thrilled so I told her to PM me and give me her address… Read more »
moon flowers
So beautiful😍
Pretty.
Such a good story Ardyth😍
It was fun chatting with them
That is a sweet store Ardy and so nice of you. But, for $1.75 you have made new friends that you will probably enjoy conversing with. Is the Washington one state or DC?
Oh I doubt we will message after they get them.
Washington state
great story! you can never have too many friends
Hi Deborah
hi Julie
They are very valuable and hi Deb.
I think they were more like friends for the day…..and the day they receive the seeds
I didnt know of him
Amazing Race Alum and Pro Eater Tim Janus Dies at 49 After a ‘Long Battle with Cancer’
Never heard of him? but I have watched the amazing race. Such a young man RIP🌻
There are so many seasons of these long running shows and like 20 people or so per season it is impossible to remember all of them.
I like the show have seen it a few times it would be hard to remember people that have been on, I’m more into what they have to do
I love this show and don’t think I have missed a single one. I like seeing the different customs, food, sights in all the different countries, the contestants, competition.
Its so interesting, I love the places they go to😍
Me too.
I dont watch the show. But he ate hotdogs in the famous contest once a year
He was a Nathan’s competitor?
one of them
waiting for approval…………..into the United States Foreign Service but his “plans to serve abroad were disrupted by his illness,” per Major League Eating.
Janus and Chestnut were part of Team Chomp on The Amazing Race, and finished the season in eighth place.
WOW!!!
