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 am sitting outside doing my toenails and the mosquitoes are just attacking me. I have on off and I have on skin so soft bug guard and they are still biting me. Yikes!

you nails will look terrific. Those nails are pretty. Do they actually glow in the dark. So cute. I’m sorry about those mosquitoes. That is so bad. Seems the Off should be helping more than that.

That would be hard to do with mosquitos bitting you, maybe you can have a fan blowing on you to keep the mosquitos away. The fan makes it hard for them to fly

It’s pretty breezy out here but it’s not detouring them. Here’s my toenails

Good Friday Morning Bellas, we made it through another week-I’m wishing you a good weekend. 😍we are going to be in the 80’s this weekend. My goal this weekend is I need to clean up my garden stuff in the garage and take open bags of soil and dump it in my garden or in a big bucket? Hummm I need to think about this 🤔

I was going to type the exact same words as Julie, so ditto. I didn’t know you did a nat survey every week. Is that a new thing, or have you been doing it awhile?

Good morning….here early so I can get some things done today…might text my cousin and see if she wants to go out for a short while, like an hour for a fall coffee…hmmm, just heard DH say it’s starting to rain, didn’t know that was in the forecast…
oh and want to say, thanks Becki for posting the reason why DS was there and ringing the bell…often it seems other people know more about what he’s doing, I don’t keep up with it all the time. Have a good day…going to drink my coffee now (vanilla caramel)

They are big too. They are migrating to Mexico and if we didn’t have these bats there wouldn’t be any tequila

What is the connection. Pollinating the blue agave plant?

Yes they pollinate them Debbie, but also they drink nectar from the flowers
