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.
Lunch was a grilled cheese 🧀 on sourdough bread and baked cheese with pepperoni
so good to see you! Did you keep up with the chat? and did you see the video of my DS ringing the NY stock exchange bell? 😀
sorry wrong spot..but that looks good ,Ardy
That’s okay Lynn. I knew you were talking to Julie
I just saw it for the first time about 20 minutes ago. I did not see it Oct. 6. I loved seeing your son. He has a look about him, especially how he does his lips, that reminds me so much of Sidney Poitier. Both very handsome.
I’m having eggs beans and tortillas, Those cheese eggs look good in the picture😋
Those aren’t eggs that is just cheese with a piece of pepperoni on top baked in the oven
They turned out beautifully😋
I know they look like eggs but they’re not eggs, cheese and pepperoni LOL
I was thinking fried cheese and sausage😋
Sounds good.. How did you bake the cheese/pepperoni? Keep it from sticking?
Lisa are you being evacuated?
No. Thank you for asking.First of all, so glad to see you back. Hello to Jade.
Most of the storm will go further north in the panhandle area, i.e., Pensacola, Destin etc. We are in a non evacuation zone. In 2024, hurricane Helene, was in this area. We remained here. But at this time there is no threat to this area. Heavy rains and possible tornadoes in the next few days.
its very nerve racking.
Its so nice you inquired!!!!
Thanks Lisa, I’m a weather nerd, so when I saw some evacuations for your city,and also 7 foot storm surge and I was getting worried. Just stay safe, keep your devices charged-make a plan know where your flash lights are Hurricanes do spin off tornados and they can spin up fast tonight tomorrow morning will be the worst. I wish you well Lisa😘Check in to let us know how things are going sweetheart
Ahhh 😌, so sweet you are!!! Makes me feel good. That is one thing I need to get; emergency backup phone charger.
It’s good to be prepared for what ever may come. I have an emergency bag I put stuff into. I even have cat food in the bag. I get tornados up here so having everything I need in a bag that I can just grab and go in the basement some times you don’t have time to think what you need to do or grab and you need to act fast
So true!!!! Yep, kitties are priority. Thank you.
Good still morning Bellas. Here I am. I have been keeping myself busy doing outside things, Glad I have Jade she really was company for me during this difficult time. But I got things done, I have made doctors appointments and even got invited to a party on Sunday, Judy is taking me shoping on Tuesday. She has pneumonia, She’s recovering and is at home and not in the hospital Thank goodness😘Coffee clinks still. I’m finishing my second cup and heading outside. Have a beautiful day-tell someone hello-make their day and it will make yours too💖 Ardyth here’s some bacon… Read more »
You are back!!!!!!!!!!!! That was quick!!!!!
😂I got a lot done in the past few days. I feel I accomplished alot, it was the kick I needed to use my time and get somethings done around here😂
Chatting is time consuming!! Altho I still get a lot done.
I try Ardyth, you keep me motivated😘
😍
Thank you sweet heart😘
Who is having a party?
Its for my favorite bardender, I have known her for years and she is having a 25 year anniversary party-I will be going with my freind Mary😍
That will be fun. Is it at the bar or someones house?
At a bar down at the corners we call it our club house. She actually sent me a text so I got a personal invite😍 I hardly ever get to see her when she’s working I’m usually on my way home when she comes in for her shift. Back in the day we used to hang out together and then life happens and we just get busy. Plus after my stroke I became a home body and didn’t go any where. I got over that and like going out for a bit now😘
Well, it seems you get around OK now so its good you came out of your shell.
I was to afraid to go any where, I was afraid of something happening to me😧
Glad you are back Julie. You were missed. Oh I’m happy about your upcoming plans, the party and shopping. Hope Judy gets well soon.
Judy is doing much better and she can give herselfnebulizer treatments at home so her lungs are getting direct treatments, but she’s back on steroids which she hates-so many side effects from those including loss of sleep. She had just come off of steroids from her injured tendon on the back of her ankle so steroids twice in a month is wearing on her. She has told me coming off the steroids is so hard and makes you feel horrible. I have never taken them so I’m just repeating what she has told me
It really is good she has those nebulizer treatments and she can do them at home. I’ve had maybe just one of those? Maybe two, both in a doctor’s office. It was probably bronchitis not pneumonia. When I had cataract surgery I had to use steroids in my one eye. They kept me awake, just a couple drops in one eye. I once did a step down program of prednisone, you start off taking 5 pills for a few days, then 4, until you finish the pills. I can imagine what Karen went through. She was on steroids for years,… Read more »
Right if you have the machine you can do them at home. Then you don’t have to go and have a treatment. When I was up north and at a garage sale with my Mom. They had a lot of medical equipment for sale. I had my Mom get a nebulizer machine for her to use at home. If she would ever happen to need to use it-she has had lung problems in the past and is a lung cancer survivor so I thought she should get it and it was brand new still in the box and at $5… Read more »
I didn’t know your Mom had lung cancer. What a bargain. It is good she bought it.
Yes she did, had radiation no chemo. And has been in remission for 10 years, and it was coming home with us one way or another, and that’s what I told her😂
I’m glad she has been in remission 10 years.
Good morning Bella Buds. I’m taking Jo to see the eye surgeon again today for a routine check up to see how the eye is doing. She has a lot of questions, the most important when she can probably read. I don’t blame her, it has been months now. There is so much wait to get something like this done. We just have to go to the closest town to us, it will only take 15-20 minutes to get there. A favorite restaurant is very close, we will bring home supper. Home style cooking. I have to do the driving.… Read more »
Will you be gone all day?
No this will be a quick trip, depending on the wait at the doctors office. Then the restaurant will be quick too. At this time neither of us need to go anywhere else.
Good Morning again Debbie😍
Good morning Julie
I hope you found a scrub brush yesterday
Good morning Bella’s!!!
hello early 🦅 🦅 birds.
Morning Lisa
You are an early bird too 🐦
I think we have a two hour time difference.
two or three, I am not sure.
I think you are Mtn time . I am Eastern time. 2 hrs.
Yes I am Mountain Time
😅. Let me explain it to you both. 😄. When most of the country is on daylight savings time, there are three hours difference between St. Pete and Tucson. When most of us revert to standard time the difference in your time zones is 2 hours. This is because Arizona is one of only two states in the Union that never goes on daylight time. This used to be confusing to me, now I am a pro!
And the time we see here on SPO chats is Minnesota/Iowa time
Yep, central time. So my time is always with them. Well, unless I am in the next county north or east, then I am temporarily one hour different.
😄
Oh my goodness, I didn’t think of that Debbie. Thanks for reminding me. It’s crazy 😜
Good morning Lisa.
Good Morning Lisa😍 do you have to do any prep for the hurricane? I wish for your safety
Thanks again. It will bring a bunch of rain. Luckily it will not be directly in this area, but northwest panhandle area.
so 😀 glad you are back!!!
Feels great to be back here I missed everyone so much. But I read everyday to try and stay up with everyone😍Thank you Lisa😘
Good morning
I dont have any news since last night…lol
I havent seen any bats the last few nights…its been disappointing. I didnt get many pictures at all.
I am contemplating washing the livingroom window. I hope i can move the couch …they are very heavy since they have storage underneath the seats.
Good morning Ardy. Sorry you don’t have as many bats this year. Isn’t it strange how it varies from year to year? You sure have got some fantastic photos of the bats. Don’t hurt your back, wait for Rick.
Rick saw 10 last night and then they took off and didnt come back.
Ardyth I miss read this, I thought Rick took off at 10 last night and didn’t come back😂
😍
I Had the couch moved the windows washed inside and out including the screens and the couch back in place before Rick even got up at 8:00
Hope your back is good.
I would move the couch and then go lay on it😂
😄
Hi Deborah😍 how are you doing today?
hi Julie, glad to see you got back in
Thank you 😘 are you doing good today?
I’m doing fine
Thats great. I’m not sure if I have asked you this before? have you been to Hawk Ridge?
yes, I have been there it’s pretty cool
Lucky you. Its on my bucket list😍 I would just like to go up there and check out the veiw😘
I am now
Perfect!!!!😃
I pushed with my knees more or less.
I would of sat on the floor and pushed with my feet, if there was room to do so
I pushed on my bed mattress that had shifted yesterday when I changed sheets. It is very heavy. Last night I had a pain that went though behind my knee, into the calf. I at was caused now that I think about it by pushing on that bed hours earlier. You may feel it later on tonight.
Muscles always remind us when we use them!!
i always feel it later but my broken wrist was hurting if i pushed it with my hands
A broken bone is a very different thing!
Oh my goodness! You are full of energy Ardyth. Send some my way.
Yesterday, I did a full vacuum. The place is not to large, but I’m constantly dusting, cleaning, etc. I vacuumed, with attachments, the baseboards, lampshades, dust bunnies on walls….
Some times I see dust bunnies on the wall and then they move😲 and its a moth that got inside the house😂
Maybe the bats can sense the hurricane on the west coast? animals can sense danger might of slowed down the migration some.
There just arent as many at our feeders this season
Could be a population drop, Because of the drought you have gone through the last couple of years-less food for them so eat so they don’t waste what resources they have like keeping them selves alive so they don’t waste energy on rearing young so less bats. Wasn’t it slow for them last year too?
