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.

She is a strong woman for sure, to be admired. Her fun nature shows in the photos. I’m trying to remember. Is she a nurse? How functional is her son? The autistic spectrum is very diverse. I worked with an autistic boy once. My job was to establish eye contact, and reward him for doing so.

Ardy I forgot. Did they determine exactly what happened to Jolene. Being so sudden it must have been heart or stroke.

There were a lot there, it is good they could be corralled for pictures. That can be hard to do. Were a lot of them from MN?

No one from MN
Rays sister and brother still live in IA, Denny Joe who died lived in Willows and his two sons were around
Jolene’s family is from CO. Idaho Washington Oregon

So several were a good distance away. I think your friend JoAnn is in MN. Do you have any relatives in MN?

So a lot of relatives still in MN. Joann is in MN because she didn’t move! 😁. Was your Dad from Iowa?

My dad was from Iowa. He had a brother and a sister that stayed in Iowa. My grandparents on my dad’s side lived there too. My dad got a job with some guy he knew from Iowa that had moved to Minnesota. So that’s how my dad ended up in Minnesota and met my mother. My mother was born in Minnesota to my grandparents that were from Minnesota and she had four sisters and they all stayed in Minnesota and 99% of their children are still in Minnesota except for one cousin Sue and her daughter Emily and her family… Read more »

No, about JoAnn I knew she was from Minnesota and she is your friend not relative. I meant you are from Minnesota but live in Arizona. You are in AZ because you moved. She is from Minnesota and still lives in MN because she didn’t move.
So Basically you and your mother’s side are all originally from MN. Your Dad and his side of the family are all originally from Iowa.

Beautiful flowers. Ray and Rae seem like such nice people, it comes out in the photos. I assume a lot of the people in your photos could be described as cousins, second cousins, and cousins once or twice removed, whatever that is. I struggle with relationship tags. But all family, that is what counts.

Good morning Ardy. I’m so happy to know you are back home. It will probably be a few days until everything is caught up and your routine is stable. How did the pets respond when they first saw you? I bet Rick was happy to see you. Your nature photos are always beautiful. I’m not saying this to flatter you. I believe you could have been a professional photographer. You obviously love taking pictures. I have always noticed your composition, you have a flair. You take a lot of photos where artistry shows.
