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’m having another cup of coffee then I’m going for a walk, I have a line of storms coming for this afternoon
Mike Ditka, Legendary NFL Player and Chicago Bears Coach, Dies at 86
RIP Mike Ditka. I was a big Bears fan until they fired him and that is when I switched to the Packers.
I liked him and the Bears
I was that way with the Colts and Peyton Manning.
I used to cheer for the Bears I liked Jim Mchahon, I had a life size cutout of him in my bathroom😂
😁
💕I had Brett Farve
😍
Love him!!!!
I used to but then weird stuff started coming forward of things he did, one being sending pictures of himself to a woman-personal parts😲 and that just creeps me out. He paid back the money for this and can still be charged for the crime, and he went and played for the Vikings-people burned his jersey here because of that, Packer Nation was really mad about that
Remember the Super Bowl Shuffle.
Becki I loved that, the Bears were sure fun back then😘
OH NO!!! He was one of the Greats😥 its a sad day for Illinois. RIP Coach Ditka
🙁
Yes, I saw that. He was well known, wasn’t he.
Casey time.
Lesser long-nosed bats and Mexican long-tongued bats migrate north from Mexico every summer and hit hummingbird feeders across Tucson, Green Valley, and the Santa Cruz Valley from dusk until the sugar water is gone. They hover at the feeder ports the same way hummingbirds do, using a tongue that extends a third of their body length to reach the liquid. A single bat can drain a 32-ounce feeder in one night. A group of them can empty every feeder on a property before midnight. The mass arrival at feeders started in 2006. That year, a widespread failure in the agave… Read more »
Wow unbelievable that one bat can drink 32 ounces of nectar over night. Wow! Do you participate further than the survey? I’d comment about the ESA if I could. 😏.
I fill out the survey weekly that the Arizona Game and Fish Department sends me
Thanks Ardy. That is super interesting.
Good morning Becki.
Morning Debbie
Becki are you feeling better.
A little I guess. Still don’t have a lot of energy
I’m sorry Becki this has tarried awhile hasn’t it? A bad cold?
Hi Becki sorry your feeling under the weather
I thought you guys might like to know why i stand outside at night and look for these bats.
I fill out a weekly survey every season from Arizona Game and Fish
I just figured you were batty😂 Bats are such interesting creatures, they are even being studied because bats carry natural immunity to viruses-they don’t get sick
Interesting.
It really is
I just thought you liked seeing them, as I would, and were interested in them.
Really good article Ardyth, so glad you shared it😘 It would be so cool if they came and caught the bats in your yard and see a tracker put on one maybe even get to pet one, their fur has to be so soft like velvet😍
julie see if you can read the pm or i will post here
i posted it here too
Going to look right now😃
Good morning Bella Buds. I’m glad I don’t need to go anywhere today. Sure don’t want to go anywhere tomorrow, lots of rain and wind coming from the hurricane. But today will be nice. Y’all have a good day.
Good Morning “Sparky⚡” the hurricane system is suppose to move right up the country and make it up here to bringing us rain and thunderstorms too that’s where our warmer temps are coming from-its wild
That is a long way to travel. Shows the might of a hurricane.
As of now, Ardyth and Julie are awake!!!! Good morning to all!!!
Good Morning Lisa😍Coffee clinks to you😘
😃
any plans for the day? Lisa
Good morning Lisa. Do you live far enough inland that the actual surge doesn’t affect you? I know the wind/rain can. Stay safe sweetheart, that is what matters.
Oh yeah I’ve been awake for a long time Lisa LOL
