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.
Checking back in, boy the scam calls are so bad today, back to back none stop one call stops I don’t answer it then they call back right away from the same number I turned my phone off
They are awful here also. At first I thought it was a mixture of political and medical. Now I think they are all medical. In fact, I think 95% of my calls are spam.
Oh so are ours!!!!
100% for me today all my local area code and that’s really frustrating I blocked every thing even if I thought I knew the number😫
Sometimes I have to resort to that also. Otherwise, I would go nuts. I had 32 of them a couple of days ago.
Can you block them so they can’t call back.
Yes I can they just call from a different number🙄
Keep doing it and eventually it helps.
Today its not!!!
It takes months.
Good afternoon. I showered and got ready early And I went to Walmart. And then I went to the Dollar Tree. And then I decided I should go to Cosmoprof / The Beauty Supply because I needed a few things there too. It’s a nice day out now it’s 74 degrees and sunny. All I had for lunch was leftover meatloaf with some ketchup on the top of it and one quarter of a sweet potato and now I’m having acid reflux. My new NP took me off of my acid reflux prescription medication and it didn’t take long for… Read more »
Enjoyed your message and pictures!!! Homemade tacos for lunch on this end. Here, the heat index reached 91. Still to warm 🥵 for me.
Hi Ardy..I had little pumpkins and the other day there was a big mess on the front porch, the squirrels tear them apart…so I set them under the tree and cleaned up the mess.
Rick will let ours rot and I’m not sure he’ll do it and throw him away probably
I put mine in the garden to compost but I let the animals have at them fist
one big reason I buy them is the squirrels love them..they are only decorations for a little while, lol
Squirrels carried mine off😂
Squirrels are quite capable little creatures!
Lady Bug hey you😍🐞
Hey Butterfly, 🦋 😘. I just did get my act together for the day. Been doing this and that, but just couldn’t quite get moving. Still flying from the excitement of last night. I was laying in bed, still awake, at 2:30 a.m., and then I got up at 8:00, so – dragging. I hope you are feeling a lot better today!! 😍
I laid down for most of the afternoon couldn’t stop coughing, I don’t even know how late I was up was up for the national good news and for our Govenor race, fell asleep happy and releived
Oh Julie I’m sorry about the coughing, I thought you were better.
still getting over it
Hugs for you my friend.
I’m better but not by much🙄
😢
💕
I just saw this msg, Julie. 🙄 i hope you can settle the cough down for sleep. Hang in there. 🙏
I’m glad you are happy and relieved but sorry you are so sick.
HI Lisa
Rick makes Tacos often I love them. Oh I wish it was 91 here I love the hot weather. Tucson gets cold in the winter because it’s Very dry here so our nights get downright cold even though the daytime warms up but there isn’t that much heat so the house stays pretty darn cold
Homemade tacos sound good! Hi Lisa.
Hi lisa. I find 91 to be suffocating. At this point, I don’t think I will ever get used to hot weather. 😅
You got hummers! The pumpkins look sad but I love seeing Buddy. Most of the acid reflux stuff is available over the counter now, the PPI ones like omeprazole and Nexium. For a few years I was on 40 mg, then cut it down to 20 mg and I still did fine. It is true it is not recommended for most people to take all the time. I was the exception because of Barrett’s.
She doesnt want me to take anything other than Tums and to stay away from spicy food.
We have hummingbirds year round Debbie
If Tums doesn’t do it try baking soda mixed in water.
That doesnt sound pleasant…..🙄
It isn’t bad to me and works quickly. It is really the main ingredient in Alka Seltzer, so not as weird as it sounds. Because of the omeprazole I haven’t used it much in recent years.
IF it gets bad maybe i will try it.
I use Baking soda too Debbie😘
that’s what DH does…be prepared for a very loud burp!! 😂
Yes I was going to say the burp! But as soon as you burp it is like immediate relief. All gone, and very cheap!
yes, that’s what he says! 😀
I’m sure you had rather have one big burp than to see your man hurt. It is just caused by the alkaline neutralizing the acid.
Lynn YIPPEE you have your avatar back😘
I’m sorry, Debbie. 🫢 I hadn’t seen this post before I wrote my post about the pumpkins being happy. It’s kind of weird how we can all get different thoughts about pictures.
You mean the thrown away pumpkins? I was talking about them. Not the original pumpkins. Regardless definitely no reason for you to be sorry sweetheart! We all have our thoughts as it should be.
I was speaking of the thrown away pumpkins — I still saw their smiles, hanging on as long as they possibly could. 🤣 And I would have been somewhat tactful if I had been replying to your post. It’s all good. 😊🤓
One pumpkin still has a candle going Ardyth, Is Buddy bigger? fantastic pictures😘
No there arent any candles burning but, I see what you see…. Buddy looks the same to me.
Hi there Ardyth😍 Buddy seems gigantic😂
Only because i zoom in.
😂 it works😍
😅
I do believe Buddy 3 is smiling at you. Nice capture! Even the pumpkins appear to still be smiling, after all they’ve been through. And then of course, a sweet little hummingbird. Nice pictures, Ardyth! 🥰
Hi Karen
Buddy saw me taking pictures of him….he would turn his head.
Hi Ardyth. Did he turn his head to look at you, or to look away?
Looked at me…..lol
🤣😂😍 Quite the star !! I think he has a crush on you. 🤩
😄
He knew an attractive woman when he saw her! 😁
😂
It could be a female, too hard for me to figure it out without Googling
🤣. Boy, she would be barking up the wrong tree.
I’m going to do Casey since Jo is up.
this was a post I typed probably 3 hours ago and I didn’t post!
I was just going to say goodness jo must have slept really late
Jo got up at least an hour earlier than usual. The extra distraction is probably why I didn’t post!
how is she doing with her eye?
It is about the same as far as I know. It is moving slow.
Is she able to see to read better now?
She said it is the same. She sees the doctor in about a week and we will see what he says. I feel sorry for her, it is just so slow.
Yeah, It has been awhile. I feel bad for her too.
Going to do somethings stop back later🖐
Bye.
@KyDebbie where do you have to go for your tires?
A mile or less from me. I’ve already been there, have an appointment for 2:30 tomorrow.
Good morning….washing some old blankets, might donate some to the animal shelter and maybe a couple to the thrift shop. Yesterday we went to Walmart for a few things but ended up with more than a few, lol…funny how you remember you need this or that and also walk by things that you might need or want and they jump into your cart, lol…we also visited FIL and the caregiver, just a short visit…the caregiver said he was yelling at her about this and that. Then we went to vote and we voted differently 😜 sometimes that is what happens.… Read more »
had to log in and no avatar…
My goodness, that’s annoying 😠 Hi Lynn 💗
I did a double take I saw your name but no avatar? maybe refresh to get it back?
Good morning Lynn, enjoy your sunshine😘 funny when shopping how that happens even with a list😜
Good morning Lynn. Sometimes things just sorta jump in my basket too! But I really don’t mind. Sometimes I find new things to try and they become list items. It can even happen when I work on a pickup order.
In the last few years Jo and I have split our vote more and more often. We agree the most on the local offices, the least on the national ones.
Hi Lynn ♥ Charlene used to say she had to get a $5 item at Target & didn’t feel like spending $50; she knew items would move into her cart thru their own volition. 😄
😂
Good morning Bella Buds and happy day to you! I imagine many of you are feeling a lot less stressed, more optimist! We have gloomy weather today but the spirit is alive and well. I’m just mad that I have to go to the tire place. Jo is up already. 😩😂. She said she couldn’t sleep because she had the tires, other things on her mind. I said, you aren’t going with me to the tire place, you aren’t nice! I am always nice, she is sometimes not. Maybe she will learn that if she is going with me she… Read more »
Good Morning Debbie, your going to get new tires? or Jo is? I don’t understand what’s going on. Suck it up buttercup😘 coffee clinks
I wrote about the tires. Honda found that the tires are loosing air because the value stems were not replaced when I got new tires last year. They are slowly leaking. You should automatically get new stems. Those stems are 9 years old, probably dry rotted. Stems are very cheap and easily replaced when you get new tires. I even sprung for the expensive Michelins. No, I do not want to suck it up, but I’ll be nice.
Can you just have new valves put on the tires then?
It would cost a lot to pay someone because they have to remove all wheels, remove tires off the wheels, balance the tires and put them back on. It all has to be done when you get new tires but part of the cost of the tires is the installation and all of this. When you go through the process it is easy to pop out the old stems and pop in the new, and they are relatively cheap.
But the tires were defective when you bought them because the valves weren’t good, you shouldn’t be charged for that
The tires I bought were not defective themselves, but it is common when you buy new ones to replace the stems. Usually when I negotiate the tires I ask if that includes new stems, but who can remember if I asked a year ago? But even if I didn’t a tire professional should have asked me.
They should of asked you or at least tell you it needed to be done
The tire place should do it for free.
Yes!!!!
I hope your day goes well Debbie!!!!
Hello Casey and Macie!!! Didn’t start too well it seems. I’ll bet it’s better for you and Jo now!!!! Just one of those mornings….😃
I haven’t started much yet! 😁
