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.

Hello everyone. 🤗 The last time I saw my doctor, he told me to try a new anti-anxiety medication before bed if I kept feeling anxious. (That’s the condensed version of it.) So, I was having some anxiety off and on throughout the last few days, and I thought I would try it after I signed off and went to bed last night. And here I am! I don’t think I even woke up. If I did I don’t remember it. I haven’t read posts yet, but I’m hoping everyone is okay. 😍 I’m still a little groggy, so I’m… Read more »

Thank you, Julie and good morning! I sure don’t like this feeling of sleeping almost a full day, literally. I will talk to him, maybe a different medication entirely. And maybe I don’t want to take any kind of anxiety medicine again Gongrats on the Packers win. I enjoyed the bells of St Mary’s last night. Such a great, heart warming story. Sleep good. I hope to talk to you tomorrow at earlier time. 😅😍🤗

Hi Karen so you slept about 20 hours. Does that sound right? Your body needed it but I agree with Julie, you need a smaller dose. Take care of yourself. You are loved.

Yes, about 20 hours. I still can’t believe it. I didn’t even hear the baby. I am going to have a chat with the doc tomorrow. This new one is a longer acting one than I’ve ever had before. Maybe that’s the problem. I was on a diff med before, and I weaned myself off. Maybe I just don’t really need them any more. We all have anxiety, right?

Did your husband take care of Dutchess? A lot of primary doctors are lousy at psychotropic medicines. Always ere on the side of the smallest dose it comes in, and increase as necessary. All people have different needs.I can’t judge yours. But I will tell you this, when I worked in mental health our psychiatrist would have a patient stable, then a regular doctor would change the medicine, they would get sick, and I was calling one of the state psychiatric hospitals to have them involuntarily committed. Now, those people had psychosis, you don’t. This is not at all like… Read more »

Debbie, Dutchess sleeps with me. And she stays there. She went through the whole thing with me. Fed her right away after I got up and situated. Still kind of groggy and out of it. I think that stuff is just too strong for me. Anyway, I don’t know how long I will be online. I don’t even know how long I will be awake. 😅 I feel like I might crash at any moment, so I hope no one feels like I’m ignoring them if I don’t answer.

I think you need to just take care of yourself, do whatever you want to do. I’m a pee pot and couldn’t go that long without a bathroom! If I was reincarnated as a dog I’m sure it would be the same. I hope your husband at least checked on you.

If you can cope without it, yes. But regardless, try mild and increase. My mom had bad panic attacks in later life. She took Ativan when she had an attack. In about 20 minutes it worked and ended the panic attack. I never saw any real side effect or getting sleepy. That in no way means that is the medicine you need, just an example of the right medicine helping the right person.

Have you thought seriously about steroid injections in your hands? I don’t care for ingested steroids as they cause many side effects, even if they seem to do a great job for their purpose. I’ve heard people have great success with local steroids use, though. Just a thought. 😊 Good night, Ardyth. 🌷

DH wanted to get the market thing done so we did…it was bitter cold…got several bags of popcorn…Chicago mix, pretzel cheese, pizza, and banana I think…bought a peppermint soap for me from the young boy who makes and sells them at the farmer’s market. My fingers were hurting bad and I was almost crying while we got the truck warmed up…glad to be home…
