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.
Gales of November😥 I have been here where the man loss his life
😓
Its the Gales of November, the waves were so bad they couldn’t rescue him
He shouldn’t have been out there.
The waves change size, it looks like you can get close for a picture and then the big one comes and knocks you off your feet
Gordon Lightfoot so immortalized that terrible accident, that I’ll never forget it, and I tear-up every time I hear about it. I feel bad for this poor man and his family.
My Mom’s first boyfriend died on the Edmund
Oh how awful!!!! 😵🤯💔💔
The Badgers better be careful they just might win😂
KY is playing TN. Big rivals.
Playing Rutgers

What a sweet story. Santa must have also given the little spider on big eye, better to see the ornaments@.
Of you look close it has two small red eyes
I see!
🤓
Oh , the story and variants of the Christmas 🎄 tree spider is so sweet 🥹. Unloved the spider and lizard you now have from the craft fair!!!! Such a display of talent and creativity.
Oops, I meant to say I love the spider and lizard!!!!
I didn’t realize the spider was made of beads they story is so sweet Thank you for sharing it Ardyth😍
Yes it is …there were many pretty ones . She had two smaller spiders and i bought one.
I liked the story too, never heard it before
I never heard the story before either, its a great Christmas story
Hello…gets dark so fast! We didn’t go out this morning, DH had a burial and things to do…so I did a couple small jobs today and went for a couple walks…my mom stopped by and i gave here a piece of fish …DH picked up a couple fish meals for a fundraiser last night..I still have half a piece…the meals came with fries, cole slaw, baked beans. Oh, I also did a little raking under one tree and onto the curb, the leaf truck will be coming around next week..not that we really need it, my helper will just rake… Read more »
Got dark real fast I went down stairs and had to feel around to turn on the lights, managed doing that w/o stubbing a toe, did step on one of Jades balls it swished and I was like I hope that wasn’t a mouse😂
😅
I was afraid to look at the floor when I turned the lights on.
Sounds like you had a nice day….It gets dark earlier here too but our summer nights get dark much faster then in the Midwest
I like the long summer nights here.
I was surprised how short they were here when i moved here since it was daylight til 930 in MN
daylight ends here at 9 in June…one reason I want to keep the DST…don’t want to lose the long summer days
I I’m having such a hard time with the time difference. It gets dark a few minutes after I get up, or so it seems. (btwn 9:30 and 10:00). Adyth, I don’t understand what you mean by it getting darker there than in the midwest. 😅🤔
I dont know what you mean it gets dark between 9:30 – 10.
It seems like
I get up between 9:30 and 10:00, but it feels like it’s only a few minutes until it’s dark again, because it gets dark at about 5:00, only 7 hours after I get up.
Gets dark at 4 here
Wow! I will have to check again tmrw and make sure I have it right. In any event, it’s amazing how much difference 1 hour can make.
It was 5 for me.
Get up earlier…..Just kidding It is daylight here at 630 AM NOW….5:00AM in the summer
Oh! Ive been getting up a little earlier at least by the clock. 7 am. But that would be 8 by the old time of daylight. My body hasn’t transitioned to standard.
Interesting to pick up on the time change conversation. My body has not adjusted to the time change. I wake up 1 hr earlier. I become really tired one hr earlier. The clock may have changed, but my body hasn’t. By the time my body adjusts, it will be time to change the clocks again. It’s ridiculous!!!
I am doing the same thing Lisa. I wish all this clock changing would stop. I think i have more trouble with the changing than I used to. It is like im waking up by the old clock, going to sleep by the new clock, which means one less hour of sleep. Some people want daylight time year around, some standard, but everyone just wants to STAY on the same one year round.
Exactly right Debbie.
I’m dizzy. 😄
She’s probably comparing to when she was in Minnesota this past summer
Yes i was
It gets dark here by 5:30 now and 7:30 in the summer where in MN it was daylight until 930
@KyDebbie I love the “tennis” shoes you ordered!!!!
Thanks. I did a lot of research! 🤣
That’s what you should do, they would be great for my walks.
They would, may help your back too.
See how they fit, I might be interested in getting a pair. like if they are true to size
You might do better with another one. When i did my research i typed in collapsing feet, imbalance issues, cane use. You have none of those problems.
I can look up the shoes😘 I was thinking about my Mom too
They are probably better for her.
$129 and I cant try them on first …..my concern
They have a good return policy. I imagine their sizes run consistent. Have you ever had their shoes? These shoes might not be right for you, you don’t have my issues, especially the instability.
No I have never had their shoes
i only had a pair of sandals and they are good. Becki likes her samdals.
I wont order shoes online unless I have had them before
Dont blame you.
At that price i need to try them on…I dont like to bother sending things back in the mail. Modlily was a a pain and now I will never order from them again. The top i wanted and finally got is too tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR
Sorry about your top.
I have to try things on, but those sandals I got were true to size and you had gotten sandals from them before and you said they were true to size so I ordered and they fit perfect
I have to try shoes on !!!!
Debbie, I need to order some special shoes. I will check to see where you ordered from, if you posted it. There are indeed disadvantages to getting to chat so late in the day — I’m trying to figure out a way to make it work.
i ordered them directly from the company, Orthofeet.
Thanks.
Afternoon I’m watching a movie and the Badger foot ballgame just started-they actually scored a touch down I’m in shock😵
I spent two hours at our church festival. It was a gorgeous morning. I bought quite a few things all of them for me although I did buy Christmas tree for somebody, Rick’s step sister Jamie. When I got home I did a load of laundry I just took a shower i’m on the bed My back is killing me my left foot is killing me so I am going to rest and watch Grey’s Anatomy but I thought I would leave you with some pictures of what I bought today
This is Dennis,He used to work behind the counter at Walmart in the photo department and he knew me well because I was in there every week with film to be developed. He makes 3D things this will be his last year because of his back and his knees it’s just too much for him Plus he can’t breathe very well anymore. They used a drug on him to save his life when he had cancer but it left him with no breath. Anyway I always wanted to buy these colorful lizards but they’re really too big I don’t have… Read more »
He must have a 3-d printer😍 cool beans😘
Yes he does……
Those machines are so cool, I had a chance to see one work its fasinating
I have never seen any
They are super expensive
Those colorful lizards are really beautiful! I am still having a hard time imagining a 3D printer. I have never seen one, and I just can’t quite put it together in my head. 🫠
Much prettier than mine but smaller was a better fit in my livingroom.
I understand that. You want to accentuate, not blow someone’s mind! 😂 I would have made the same choice, for a living room decoration, but I always go for the bright and colorful stuff in my head.
Yeah I loved the colors and Dennis was going to give me a deal since after one more show he is done due to his health now.
He gave me the green one for free♥♥
That is great! And so-o-o sweet. Sad about his health
And having to give up something he loves doing.
You got some wonderful things and treats Ardyth😍😋
I wasnt going to get treats but they are made by our church ladies and wanted to help them sell them.
You did good buying from them and you picked some tastey things too😋
I was hoping you would post pictures from the craft fair!!! I love the little lizard and bug. I looks like you chose some really nice items!!!! I see the Route 66 item. The table liner is very nice too. Everything you chose is going to be enjoyed!!!!
Take a rest. I guess your back and foot are a bit sore!!!!!
I got two table runners for cheap, they were $8…one is quilted and really nice. I already have it in our bedroom
The bug is a spider. the lady had many cool ones
Cyclops spider.
It looks beautiful😍
I take a lot of pictures Lisa of everything and I always post LOL here is a picture of the quilted runner on my dresser
Very nice.
I love it
Is one thing a table runner? Some rugs? Cute little things and yum on the treats.
wow, Ardy, you bought some very nice things..love the table runners…I just recently ate at a rt 66 diner, it was fun and good food…cute 3d creatures…a couple kids on the next street make and sell those..in the summer they often were sitting at a table with them and i know kids love them.
We used to sell Creepy Crawlers😂
we made those!! so much fun!
I knew you probably had one maybe Ardyth too? they were fun😍
I think it was mostly my cousin and I who made them, in our grandparents’ basement.
We had the incredible edibles too. I think I might still have the hot plate and some of the molds?
Yes we had one too.. I loved them
We had a creepy crawler maker too.
😍 I knew you had a creepy crawler maker😂
😂I also had a car race track that i loved!!!
We had one of those too Ardyth😍
Looks like fun!
I think they are pretty cool….I really wanted the big pretty ones but the small one is easier to find a place for it.
I love my runners
Make nice accents to a room
Two table runners …one is a Route 66 runner…..a commenterive.
U.S. Route 66 spans 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, celebrating its Centennial year in 2026 after being established on November 11, 1926
I just got a route 66 t-shirt it was at that yard sale I went to. It says the Mother Road on it, its a biker shirt
Kool!!!!
Had to get it
Lovely items, Ardyth. I really like the way you laid them out together so we could see their actual sizes.
Thanks Karen. I am happy with my purchases
