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 done got my plant thing done put a big pot in the garage, It might be protected enough from the frost if not Oh well. I made instant mashed potatoes and I’m going to have beef stew over it just stew from a can but I can get my gravy and mashed potato fix😋I needed something that was easy to fix, I’m feeling my back right now. Big pot to the garage did the trick. I will lay down in a bit

The big pot is on a caster but I had to pick it up and carry it doesn’t wheel so well, and doesn’t go down steps either I would still have to lift it

Sometimes these easy things produce as good a dish as things that require a lot more work to do.

Hello….I got back yesterday around 5 something, 6…was so tired..still tired, didn’t sleep that well last night…I caught up on the chat and we hav a black cat, Maui..it has always made me sad that black cats and black dogs are the last to be adopted…one reason my brother always adopts black labs..of course now he’s hooked on them, just loves them…I’ll post again in a bit or tonight about my little “vacation”.

The black cats and dogs are very special. Silly that people don’t realize that!!! I had the sweetest black🐈‍⬛ cats. Our sweetest Molly had a little white star on her tuft. Missing Molly so much… this was her time of the year. Magic’s in the black kitties heart, soul and fur!!!!

Hi Lynn
I was thinking about you today, wondering when you would be back. I always thought black dogs were popular? I know people that love black labs and retreivers.

It does have a pass word but that dosen’t stop people from pirating yours, I even have people stand outside my house on their phones. I just turn the wifi off it effects my computer nothing else

Your system is supposed to have a password. My router came with a password but there is another for the system. I don’t understand all that, but our internet friend helped get it all set up.

I want to say one more thing about Jo. She does not think things thru, she just doesn’t take the time, she is impulsive, but she isn’t dumb. She worked in the hospital a long time. There was one doctor, a big cheese, who gave everyone a hard time except her, whom he liked and respected. The director of nurses went to be head of a new hospital clinic and called Jo to come and work for her at the clinic, out of all the nurses.
