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.

Hi Lynn. Did you just buy a little cottage house? Or did you mean it is an ornament? That explains the confusion. 🤔 Silly me.

No wonder you thought she bought a cottage. If I had not seen the photo I might have drawn the same conclusion.

Good afternoon…we went to lunch at the place that was closed yesterday..we both got the hash brown omelets..they also had veggies inside…one of the kids who was in my preschool class works there, always good to see her. I’m doing this and that, not sure what next..my mom will stop by in awhile and also I might walk Bane since it’s “warm” out.

Sounds tasty, Lynn. I have never had hash brown omelets. And with veggies inside, that’s different. What kind of veggies? Does Scout get to go for a walk also?

Oh, those sound like great vegetables for an omelette. Making me hungry! It’s nice when we’re able to give the babies a little walk. I know they loved it. 💗

Those are my favorite omelette veggies. No meat, no hash browns. Probably tomato.

The electric power company in Denver, not here, has shut power off to around 52,000 homes due to high winds, 65-85 mph, and potential wildfires. I know people will freak out; we’ve learned this the hard way. The power co is only trying to keep homes from catching fire from any downed power lines — and it’s also going to be around 70 degrees so no one will freeze; it’s about 20 degrees warmer there than it is here 🙄 Who’d’a thought 😏

Denver/Colo Spgs are almost always 7-10 degrees cooler than us; that’s why it was so weird that we were the cold ones.

Oh no . . . Julie. I wonder what’s causing it to go wacky. Some power drain somewhere? Wind? I don’t know all the things that can affect the devices these days, but this happens a lot. Hopefully you will get out of the shower and feel great and the system will be up and running. ❤️💜 🙏
